Famous quotes containing the words flight, surgeon and/or wings:
“Sure smokers have made personal choices. And they pay for those choices every day, whether sitting through an airline flight dying for a smoke, or dying for a smoke in the oncology wing of a hospital. The tobacco companies have not paid nearly enough for the killing.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Will you tell me my fault, frankly as to yourself, for I had rather wince, than die. Men do not call the surgeon to commend the bone, but to set it, Sir.”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
