 Quotations On Airplane And Aviation
Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
-- Douglas Adams
1952-, British Science Fiction Writer
 
A plane is a bad place for an all-out sleep, but a good place to begin rest and recovery from the trip to the faraway places you've been, a decompression chamber between Here and There. Though a plane is not the ideal place really to think, to reassess or reevaluate things, it is a great place to have the illusion of doing so, and often the illusion will suffice.
-- Shana Alexander
1925-, American Writer, Editor
 
Flying is hours and hours of boredom sprinkled with a few seconds of sheer terror.
-- Gregory ''Pappy'' Boyington
American Colonel During World War II
 
Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death.
-- Alexander Chase
 
Of all the inventions that have helped to unify China perhaps the airplane is the most outstanding. Its ability to annihilate distance has been in direct proportion to its achievements in assisting to annihilate suspicion and misunderstanding among provincial officials far removed from one another or from the officials at the seat of government.
-- Madame Chiang Kai-Shek
Chinese Revolutionary Leader
 
Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, But, they also get more notoriety when they crash.
-- Amelia Earhart
1897-1937, American Aviator, Author
 
I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.
-- Ernest Hemingway
1898-1961, American Writer
 
I like terra firma; the more firma, the less terra.
-- George S. Kaufman
1889-1961, American Playwright, Director
