Line Flight

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or flight:

“Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (1754–1812)
