Famous quotes containing the words plane and/or crash:

    At the moment when a man openly makes known his difference of opinion from a well-known party leader, the whole world thinks that he must be angry with the latter. Sometimes, however, he is just on the point of ceasing to be angry with him. He ventures to put himself on the same plane as his opponent, and is free from the tortures of suppressed envy.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    O ship
    white-sailed of Crete,
    you brought my mistress
    from her quiet palace
    through breaker and crash of surf
    to love-rite of unhappiness!
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
