Famous quotes containing the words airport, master and/or plan:
“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)
“He may have been a master of his fate,
And of his atoms,—ready as another
In his emergence to exonerate
His father and his mother;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
“Fix’d like a plan on his peculiar spot,
To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
