Space is not a good place to mix foods because as soon as you take something out of the package, it becomes a flying object.
It is a happy thing that there is no royal road to poetry. The world should know by this time that one cannot reach Parnassus except by flying thither.
I came up with idea of a solar airplane flying around the world with no fuel – that would be a beautiful message in terms of technology, the energy of the future and the environment.
Bad people will find a way to do harm, whether it’s homemade explosives, illegal weapons, or flying planes into buildings. Restricting law-abiding citizens’ right to bear arms is not the answer.
I think when science fiction is at its worst, it’s just spaceships flying around shooting at each other. There has to be a lot more going on than that… science fiction is about exploring new worlds and new ideas, not about ray guns and action, necessarily.
It’s difficult to do that internally, because you’re flying five, six hours.
If you clean it up, get analytical, all the subtle joy and emotion you felt in the first place goes flying out the window.
I hate flying. My stomach churns at the mere thought of it.
Ever since I bought and started flying an airplane, it’s been almost exclusively for business. I love to fly. It’s a great joy to me. But rarely do I use it for any kind of pleasure, other than it is a pleasure to fly.
So, when I say ‘match the hatch’, if the fish are taking the nymph, and you’re actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you’ll catch fresh air.
What I was drawn to the most about the Flying V was the weight distribution with the way I move on stage. The V just swings perfectly. It’s a great way to stay balanced, because I like to dance, and I’m a bit of a flail-er. The guitar centers me, and for me, it’s a really good balance.
I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.
Unfortunately, fur is still flying off the racks. It’s a billion dollar industry.
I’ve been flying forever and I have 19,600 flying hours.
My flag is always flying. My shingle is always out. I’m always looking for movie ideas.
I once got my stiletto caught in my horse’s tail on stage and went flying into the audience. It was a mental gig, so I think the crowd thought it was part of the show.
I am flying back to New York as I write this. I will never forget these wonderful 35 days and I would go back to Copenhagen in a heartbeat to work there again.
Of course, the wind sort of swept up and the music was flying around in mid air and they were trying to play off it. You had to be there. It was quite funny.
Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads. Stretching on and on, one province to the next. With only the stars in the distance.
Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, ‘Flying Fingers,’ debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.
I ate a bug once. It was flying around me. I was trying to get it away. It went right in my mouth. It was so gross!
Politicians have always been required to be fake, but now the career havoc wrought by a stray, flying sound bite means they have to sustain their fakeness all the time.
The American flag, Old Glory, standing tall and flying free over American soil for 228 years is the symbol of our beloved country. It is recognized from near and afar, and many lives have been lost defending it.
I never get sick on airplanes, which is incredible. You’re basically in a flying petri dish.
I have swung on a flying trapeze, explored a glacier, and been hit in the face by a shark’s tail while scuba diving. I like to throw myself fully into projects and adventures, which is probably how I managed to publish a book in the first place.
It was especially hard for me, as a professional pilot. In all of my years of flying – including combat in Korea – this was the first time that my aircraft and I had not come back together. In my entire career as a pilot, ‘Liberty Bell’ was the first thing I had ever lost.
I’m 6ft 8in, so I feel like I’ve got full body thrombosis about five hours in if I’m flying in economy.
Birds born in cages think that flying is a disease.
I came from the most humble side of society, and I know what it’s like to be poor, really poor, and I was brought up in the ’60s and ’70s very poor, and I’m very happy flying the flag for the working man.
No more flying knees against Fedor Emelianenko, no more getting back with my hands down like how it was against Rogers. I just can’t do that anymore.
It’s like being a bird, maybe, the perspective of flying over the Earth.
I was a child of World War Two . I saw films of pilots taking off from aircraft carriers and decided that was the only thing I wanted to do. And it had to be flying from sea carriers. Airfields were not enough.
I think there is that very basic yearning for something or someone to be looking after us, for there to be a framework holding the universe together that is benign and intelligent. We’re not going to get rid of that; it’s just too scary to be that molecule flying around briefly in a vacuum.
The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
I’m extremely proud of ‘Hollyoaks.’ No one could be flying the flag more happily.
Most of the energy in North America is just consuming – Wal-Mart, shopping centres, government offices – or personal consumption: houses, cars, flying to Hawaii, gambling in Las Vegas. We could live affluent lifestyles with half as much energy.
Being on ‘The Following’ is constantly flying by the seat of my pants. The story can change and the character can change at a moment’s notice.
I saw the booster, not Sputnik, flying by, and I said, maybe this is the way we should be going, not just sitting back waiting for something to happen.
You see these terrorists that are flying planes into buildings, right? You see our cities getting shot up in California. You see Paris getting shot up. And then somebody complains when a terrorist gets waterboarded, which quite frankly is no different than what happens on college campuses and frat houses every day.
Flying is so miserable these days. You have to go through security, and get up at the crack of dawn.
Yeah, I’m the Brit who isn’t Lewis Hamilton that woke up and realised he was good. I got that tag because I was young, flying around in jets and driving fast cars. I always took my driving seriously, but I suppose I enjoyed life… But I’m not a playboy.
I hate flying so I always drive.
I have a couple freeloader friends, but it’s okay. I know they’re gonna come in with their arms flying in the air empty-handed.
I’ve always been fascinated and stared at maps for hours as a kid. I’ve especially been most intrigued by the uninhabited or lonelier places on the planet. Like Greenland, for instance, or just recently flying over Alaska and a chain of icy, mountainous islands, uninhabited.
I’ve never played in Vegas. I’ve only been to the airport, but even the airport was exciting. Just flying in, looking out the window, you feel the pull of it, like it’s some evil force pulling you in, like Mordor.
It’s been cool to catch up, but I think I’m done with my exes. To be honest, I went out with flying colors on the majority of them.
I have been through two wars in my 24 years, and I know what it’s like to be without anything, to see the bombs flying above your head.
Flying over New Orleans on our approach, I got it. There was no view of land without water – water in the great looming form of Lake Pontchartrain, water cutting through in tributaries, water flowing beside a long stretch of highway, water just – everywhere.
I think any pilot with my kind of background, flying ex-military-type aircraft and experimental aircraft, would say that the pinnacle is to be able to pilot a spacecraft – there’s no question.
I met dozens of pilots and would go on dates. I had the opportunity to go up in one of the planes, but I was scared of flying.
We’ve got ballots flying around, being counted by hand, arriving by truck and in God knows whose custody.
I’ve had fish come up on stage, and it’s pretty disgusting. I try and discourage that. I discourage anything flying up on stage, actually.
I was in Cairo, Egypt, where Sinai – ISIS conducted the Russian airliner downing. We’re concerned about safety and security at these last point-of-departure airports flying directly into the United States – in that case, JFK.
Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it’s starting a new business, whether it’s leaving home, whether it’s getting married, or whether it’s flying in space.
These are moments in your life to be cherished; they don’t come around that often. To be flying around in a ‘Game of Thrones’ jet, to be greeted by massive enthusiasts.
Even though I only get a few days off, I do not stop, whether it’s getting some stage time at an open mic or flying to L.A. to watch a ton of stand-up shows.
