Famous quotes containing the words sound and/or airport:
“Its precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.”
—Max Frisch (19111991)
“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)
