Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or airport:
“Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet ‘tis early morn:
Leave me here, and when you want me, sound upon the bugle-horn.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
