Famous quotes containing the words flight, surgeon and/or wings:

    One man’s observation is another man’s closed book or flight of fancy.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn’t want all the pills I’ve recommended that’s up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife.
    —Javier Pérez De Cuéllar (b. 1920)

    His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
    On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
