Long Flights

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or flights:

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
