Famous quotes containing the words free, flight and/or hours:
“A distinction of property results from that very protection which a free Government gives to unequal faculties of acquiring it.”

“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“When I died last, and, dear, I die
As often as from thee I go
Though it be but an hour ago,
And lovers’ hours be full eternity.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
