"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

"Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the air to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas."
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 'North to the Orient,' 1935
