Famous quotes containing the words flight, surgeon and/or wings:
“Fear of error which everything recalls to me at every moment of the flight of my ideas, this mania for control, makes men prefer reason’s imagination to the imagination of the senses. And yet it is always the imagination alone which is at work.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“The surgeon doesn’t operate without first taking off the patient’s clothes. Nor do we with the mind.”
—Muriel Box (b. 1905)
“Wheeled swiftly, wings emerge from larval-silver hangars.
Taut motors surge, space-gnawing, into flight;”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
