Ski Flying Hills

Famous quotes containing the words ski, flying and/or hills:

    “The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
    —Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)

    “Years in wingspans go
    Across and over our heads. Watch them:
    They are flying east. They are flying to the ebb
    Of dark.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
