Amelia Earhart Quotes

“The magnificent thing about her [Amelia Earhart] is, in the eyes of the world, she simply never died. Her fear never witnessed, her failure never recorded, her shiny twin-engine Electra never recovered. Earhart's legacy of inspiration is amplified because her adventure is perpetual. We don't think of her as dead; we think of her as missing. She is forever flying, somewhere beyond Lae, over that limitless blue horizon.”

The choice: All of it or not? Some or none? Now, not now, maybe later?”

― Jarod Kintz, Me and memes and memories

“Neta crawled out of the wreckage, hoping against hope that Amelia wasn’t hurt.

She wasn’t. She was standing next to the plane, grinning and powdering her nose. “We have to look nice [if] reporters arrive,” she said.”
