Famous quotes containing the words erect, level and/or flight:
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A drawing is always dragged down to the level of its caption.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“When the flight is not high the fall is not heavy.”
—Chinese proverb.
