Quotes about: Airplane

  Home, Airplane, Flying

  Richard Bach (2003). “Flying: The Aviation Trilogy”, p.140, Simon and Schuster

• We're different, we're the same. You thought you'd never find a word to say to a woman who didn't fly airplanes. I couldn't imagine myself spending time with a man who didn't love music. Could it be it's not as important to be alike as it is to be curious? Because we're different, we can have the fun of exchanging worlds, giving our loves and excitements to each other. You can learn music, I can learn flying. And that's only the beginning. I think it would go on for us as long as we live.

  Richard Bach

  Love, Fun, Learning

• The airplane is just a bunch of sticks and wires and cloth, a tool for learning about the sky and about what kind of person I am, when I fly. An airplane stands for freedom, for joy, for the power to understand, and to demonstrate that understanding. Those things aren't destructable.

• Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him. The writers of flight who have done this are usually found together in a special section on private bookshelves.

  Airplane, Men, Flying

  Richard Bach (2012). “A Gift of Wings”, p.209, Dell

• I belong to a group of men who fly alone. There is only one seat in the cockpit of a fighter airplane. There is no space alotted for another pilot to tune the radios in the weather or make the calls to air traffic control centers or to help with the emergency procedures or to call off the airspeed down final approach. There is no one else to break the solitude of a long cross-country flight. There is no one else to make decisions.

  Richard Bach

  Country, Airplane, Men

• He moves not through distance, but through the ranges of satisfaction that come from hauling himself up into the air with complete and utter control; from knowing himself and knowing his airplane so well that he can come somewhere close to touching, in his own special and solitary way, that thing that is called perfection.

  Richard Bach

  Distance, Moving, Airplane

  Richard Bach (2012). “A Gift of Wings”, p.209, Dell

• I've learned that it is what I do not know that I fear, and I strive, outwardly from pride, inwardly from the knowledge that the unknown is what will finally kill me, to know all there is to be known about my airplane. I will never die.

  Richard Bach

  Airplane, Pride, Aviation

• Without my airplane I am an ordinary man, and a useless one - a trainer without a horse, a sculptor without marble, a priest without a god. Without an airplane I am a lonely consumer of hamburgers.

  Richard Bach

  Lonely, Horse, Airplane

  Richard Bach (2003). “Flying: The Aviation Trilogy”, p.24, Simon and Schuster

• What I love doing is basically two things: I love flying airplanes and I love communication.

• When you're flying, an airplane doesn't care who you are; it doesn't care how much money you make or don't make. All it cares about is: How well do you fly? How well do you know the airplane? How well do you know the sky?

  Richard Bach

  Airplane, Sky, Flying

  Airplane, Joy, Understanding

  Richard Bach (2012). “Nothing By Chance”, p.96, Simon and Schuster

• I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, "You're famous" and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.
