Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or airport:
“Most people sell their souls, and live with a good conscience on the proceeds.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
