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)

    Each body is in its bunker. The surgeon applies his gum.
    Each body is fitted quickly into its ice-cream pack
    and then stitched up again for the long voyage
    back.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    A sudden blow; the great wings beating still
    Above the staggering girl,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
