Since the Moon has no atmosphere, it presents a unique orbital opportunity – we could fly incredibly close to the surface while staying in lunar orbit.
A fly cannot go in unless it stops somewhere; therefore weapons, fuel, food, money will not go to Afghanistan unless the neighbors of Afghanistan are working, are cooperating, either being themselves the origin or the transit.
I’m a person with a lot of affection for adventure – I scuba dive, skydive, fly helicopters.
I live in Venice, where I can roll out of bed in my pajamas, so I tend to fly under the radar – and I hope that continues.
If you go back to ‘Pretty Fly,’ it was a very popish song, but there was a satirical side to it, and I think that’s cool. I like the idea that it’s making people think just a little bit.
To fly we have to have resistance.
I don’t like to fly. What’s it called when the plane shakes? Turbulence, takeoffs… I grab my chair, close my eyes, count to 30, breathe, and pray.
When you go to vacuum in the airlock and you take the hose off the front of your space suit, there’s a little bit of water in there, and you can see that sublimate and ice crystals form and fly away. My thought at that moment was, ‘Oh, we are not kidding at vacuum here; we are really in space.’
There is a part of your brain that has to stop when you’re acting. You have to be in the moment and dare to fly. Words can’t be on your mind.
From a very early age, I wanted to fly aeroplanes.
It’s not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
I miss the common things, the things that used to really annoy me, like an alarm clock. The sound of your zipper as your fly is being pulled up so that you know it actually is up. The sound of the door as it closes, to know that it’s really shut.
They decided as part of my 75th birthday celebrations that I would be entitled to fly first class. I’ll be honest, I’m not good at flying anymore. To my credit, I can stretch out on two coach seats.
I marched back then – I was in a civil-rights musical, Fly Blackbird, and we met Martin Luther King.
I fell in love with having my feet in the water and a fly rod in my hands.
My dad was very explosive, God rest his soul. He could fly off the handle like no one I’ve ever known, and I have definitely got that in my personality: that ability to sort of smash the house up and then say, ‘Put the kettle on,’ to have that kind of attitude of, ‘Well, I’m OK now, so everybody else has got to be OK.’
Just so we’re clear, Mark Watney is who I want to be. He has all the qualities I like about myself magnified without any of the qualities I dislike. Mark Watney isn’t afraid to fly.
That always makes it fun inside the ring when you know you can work with somebody. You can fly off the cuff while you’re in there; you can improvise.
No longer are the days where I just kind of fly under the radar. Everybody’s recognizing me. Everybody wants pictures. They feel inspired. It’s very cool.
Our words have wings, but fly not where we would.
I once had money to burn. I’d fly to Barbados for the weekend. I lived in a twenty-two-room mansion and had my pick of four luxury cars.
The respiratory mechanisms of birds are definitely adapted to the function of flight, as evidenced by the fact that birds which do not fly (Apteryx, Penguins) show these adaptations in a greatly reduced form.
We live in a time of conflict – external and internal – when we sometimes concentrate too much on what divides us. Today, fly the Stars and Stripes with pride and confidence that what unites is far stronger.
I defied the machinery to make me its slave. Its incessant discords could not drown the music of my thoughts if I would let them fly high enough.
There is a distinct layer between the Earth and the universe, which is extremely black. Slowly, the entire universe starts to look 3D, like you can fly through it rather than this sphere of blackness overhead. And when you’re above the atmosphere, there isn’t water vapour in the air to make things foggy.
There are joys which long to be ours. God sends ten thousands truths, which come about us like birds seeking inlet; but we are shut up to them, and so they bring us nothing, but sit and sing awhile upon the roof, and then fly away.
I don’t plot with huge detail, just big moments and important elements, and then I have a structure but can fly by the seat of my pants when I write.
My parents always swore that in my childhood they had to let me win at board games. If, by the lucky stroke of the plastic wheel, my father would accidentally beat me at Candy Land, I would fly into fits of bawling that I’m told would last for hours. If I couldn’t triumph, I didn’t want to play.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
We wrote ‘Fly’ in such a vulnerable place where we weren’t sure if we had what it took or we would ever make it. Now to have that song on country radio and have our fans singing it back is just wild, because we remember that exact moment, feeling that way.
Left wing, right wing, I am wingless and tired of trying to fly. Here comes the ground.
I spend my days in an office in my house. There are things to be done that I don’t have the skill set for. I’m able to learn on the fly, thank God, so I can function. But it’s difficult.
Civilian law around aviation is much looser than those governing military. Civilian planes can basically fly wherever they want in the world.
I do like to fly under the radar. When I walk around town, the only people I want to recognise me and call me by my name are the folks at Starbucks.
I would try to write ‘realistic’ fiction, and someone would fly, or there would be a black hole full of demons or a girl who attracted frogs.
The instincts and reaction and having to move – that’s what football is. You have to learn how to deal with different adjustments, and know how to react to different types of plays. And do it on the fly.
I feel good. I’m up there. I got third in the 100 ‘fly, I’ve qualified in the top eight already for the 100 freestyle.
The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn’t that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat – an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.
Over the years, I had nurtured the hope to be able to fly; to handle a machine as it rose higher and higher in the stratosphere was my dearest dream.
A man must know how to fly in the face of opinion; a woman to submit to it.
When I was nine, I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.

I wouldn’t have been in the mind-set to do another ‘Fly.’
In Europe we could do it, if we fly as soon as the event is over.
I’m a competitor so when I need to, I just fly.
I would enjoy flying to Mars. This was the dream of the first cosmonauts. I wish I could realize it! I am ready to fly without coming back.
God does things that fly completely in the face of what we’ve all been taught that He is supposed to do and every time He does this, we all just say, ‘Oh, well, I guess there must be some good reason why He did that.’
You can’t compare David Cronenberg’s ‘The Fly’ to the older version.
I went to a hypnotist to learn how not to use drinking a pint before you go on as a way of giving you the confidence to just fly at it, irrespective of the fear. That’s not a long-term strategy, when you do as many gigs as I do.
We have made such great friends at country radio. I think they love the honesty of ‘Fly’ and how raw and vulnerable it is.
I think it’s nice when you come into the room and the director has a plan, a vision of exactly what he or she wants the piece to be. Because when that happens, then you feel safe. You feel safe to make choices and to do something big and just fly because there’s a structure around you.
I used to fly off the handle in everyday life, but I’m a little calmer now.
The episode of the ‘shoe bomber,’ Richard Reid, has suddenly meant more feet being bared at airports than at the average Hindu temple. My solution has been to replace my customary lace-up Oxfords with a pair of slip-on loafers when I fly. Generals are always fighting the last war, and security screeners are the same.
I know a lot of people in the aviation business, particularly ones who will fly to places where your boots get dirty when you get out of the airplane.
I love decompressing with friends. Sometimes when a tour is long, I’ll fly friends over for the last part of the tour. I love to bring family with me, and spending time with them and my family is really the way to decompress.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard among the guns below.
I fly an aeroplane, and I think a lot about how much I do not want ever to run into an optimistic air traffic controller. I just don’t. I want a guy down there who’s just waiting for the worst crash possible and petrified that it’s going to happen on his watch. And then I feel safe flying into his territory.
