QuotesOrville Wright“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.”
“If birds can glide for long periods of time, then… why can’t I ?” “We were lucky enough to grow up in an environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests; to investigate what ever aroused curiosity.” “The airplane stays up because it doesn’t have the time to fall.” “Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them!” “The exhilaration of flying is too keen, the pleasure too great, for it to be neglected as a sport.” Wilbur Wright“There is no sport equal to that which aviators enjoy while being carried through the air on great white wings.”
“More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination.” “What is chiefly needed is skill rather than machinery.” “It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.” “Do not let yourself be forced into doing anything before you are ready.” |
