“There is no more exciting sport than flying, for if you lose, you die.”
“Even when you self-destruct, you want to fail more, lose more, die more than others, stink more than others.”
“More than anything else, the sensation [of flying] is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost - if you can conceive of such a combination.”
“You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.”
“Something has spoken to me in the night...and told me that I shall die, I know not where. Saying: "[Death is] to lose the earth you know for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth.”
“I’ve licked stamps who were more excited than you by that kiss.”
