Planes Quotes

“As night fell, Yamamoto, aboard the huge battleship Yamato, steamed eastward at full speed into the night. Far ahead the destroyers went to flank speed to search for the US carriers. Lookouts, with the best night-vision binoculars in the world, swept the night horizon where the very dark sky meets the black ocean. The faintest shape, the tiniest pinprick of light, would show there was something out there, like the superstructure of a ship over the horizon. There was nothing.”
― Dale A. Jenkins, Diplomats & Admirals: From Failed Negotiations and Tragic Misjudgments to Powerful Leaders and Heroic Deeds, the Untold Story of the Pacific War from Pearl Harbor to Midway

“You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks! Then you can give me a fucking automobile... a fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick! Four fucking wheels and a seat! And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk down a fucking highway and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile at my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!”
― Steve Martin

“… Exhausting climbs lay ahead. It was Sunday … May 17th … The path seemed to climb from dawn till dusk, the rain poured down nearly all day. The mud was worse than ever, and more slippery. Maggie, the elephant, was heavily laden, and at one time it seemed hopeless to expect her to struggle up those towering hills … as the light was going we reached the camp, we found it only a huddle of shelters already occupied on a hill-top 4000 ft high, across which a cold wind swept … Dr Russell”

“… It was an astonishing situation, a tragedy unique in history. What terror had driven these peace-loving people to seek refuge in such a wilderness? Even grass had become scarce along the track. Scanty patches of grass had been eaten clean and transport animals, already showing signs of exhaustion were far from their journey’s end. … the constant flicker of lightning and the distant growl of thunder wasominous. In the small hours the storm burst upon us. Hastily rolling up bedding we took refuge wherever we could, in or under the
lorries standing round. There together with many Indians we sat huddled and waited for the dawn. Dr Russell”

“This is stolen? We're in a stolen jet?"
"Not stolen," said Donegan Bane from the co-pilot's seat.
"Almost stolen," Gracious corrected.
"Semi-stolen," said Donegan.
"Quasi-stolen," said Gracious.
Aurora's frown did not turn upside down. "So is it stolen or not?"
Donegan and Gracious hesitated.
"Yes," they both said together.”
― Derek Landy, The Maleficent Seven

“Many a survivor of a plane crash who is or was against cannibalism and had never eaten human flesh once found themselves in a situation where they had to either eat human flesh, or go the way of all flesh.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children

“If an ancient man saw planes two thousand years ago
He would've thought they were birds
Or angels from another world
Or messengers from other planets.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

“No dejes que los planes que tienes para ti sean más importantes que tú mismo”
― Wayne W. Dyer

“I am no fan of plane travel. I have always been too skeptical of the physics of the phenomenon to ever be truly comfortable in an airplane.”
― Julie Metz, Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal

“Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.”
― John Benfield

“The only characteristic all airliners share is that upon proper urging they are normally capable of leaving the earth's surface.”
― Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter

“A meme a day keeps the planes away.”
― Meme McDonald

“Glenn could see I was bricking it and turned round to me as I sat there, gripping the armrests.
"You all right?" he said.
"I hate flying, Boss. I'm shitting myself."
"Don't worry, Merse. It's going to be OK. We *won't* crash."
I thought, "Thank God for that. Glenn's said we're going to be safe. Nothing's going to fuck with us now.”
― Paul Merson, How Not to Be a Professional Footballer

“We reviewed the ways we had to bring customers: Method A, flying aerobatics at the edge of town. Method B, the parachute jump. Then we began experimenting with Method C. There is a principle that says if you lay out a lonely solitaire game in the center of the wilderness, someone will soon come along to look over your shoulder and tell you how to play your cards. This was the principle of Method C. We unrolled our sleeping bags and stretched out under the wing, completely uncaring.”
― Richard Bach, Nothing by Chance

“For someone who likes to get around as much as I do, I really travel quite badly. Planes frighten me, boats bore me, trains make me dirty, cars make me car-sick. And practically nothing can equal the critical dismay with which I first greet the sight of new places.”
― Elaine Dundy, The Dud Avocado

“It is the professional pilot's bounden duty to know the idiosyncrasies of each type (of airplane), for he must spend a large proportion of his active career exploiting its qualities and compensating for its faults. These secrets cannot be discovered in a ground school.”
― Ernest K. Gann, Fate Is the Hunter

“I've about had it with flying," he grumbled, switching off the plane's systems, "It's ninety-nine percent boring and one percent sheer terror.”
― Delia Owens, Cry of the Kalahari

“I'm not afraid of flying. Once you get on a plane, you hand your life over to the pilots and hope they know what the hell they're doing. If you reach your destination in one piece, you get your life back, and on you go - Russian Roulette with wings.”
― Stewart Stafford

“I know that if I fly for long enough, for wide enough, for far enough, I’ll catch a signal on the radar that tells me there’s another aircraft on my wing. I’ll glance out of the reinforced glass, and it won’t be a friendly pilot that I’ll see, all stubble and brown eyes. It will be me. Me in the cockpit of that plane.”
― Jeanette Winterson, The World and Other Places: Stories

“It is possible to chip your tooth while eating gummy bears when a plane is landing.”
― Chelsea Handler

“At last they came to a hill and abandoned their bikes at the bottom. As they crested the knoll, Helen felt as though they were creeping upon some great secret and on the other side they’d find a giant sleeping or a black X with three shovels beside it. What they found was magic by a different name. Planes buzzed on runways like bees in a jar, and when one took off, a roar filled the air. As it lifted away from the earth, a breeze swept over their hilltop, and it left Helen wondering if they had been touched by the magic or if it was truly only a breeze.”
― Corinne Beenfield, The Ocean's Daughter :

“Bye bye, plane. Bye bye weekend plans. (Eve)”
― G. Gold, How Dare You - Deadly December

― Tim Minchin

“Es un sinsentido anhelar la completitud de cosas que requieren esfuerzo —hacer un curso, conseguir un ascenso en el trabajo, fundar tu propio negocio, etc.—, pero persiguiéndolo con métodos que no se alineen con la manera con la cual estamos diseñados”
― Juan I. Fernández, Libertad para Gente Inteligente: De la cognición a la acción

Manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus are developing next-generation aircraft such as the Boeing 777X and the Airbus A350neo, which feature lighter composite materials, more efficient engines, and improved aerodynamics. These planes reduce fuel consumption and emissions, aligning with the global push toward greener aviation.”

“If this airplane goes up in flames, we’ll all go up in flames. If it crashes, we’ll crash with it. And if it lands safely on the other side of the ocean, we’ll land right there with it, and we’ll all wait, along with everyone, for our baggage to come out on the carousel. A friend assured me that as soon as we land, this pressure in my chest will vanish. He’s the same friend who told me almost two years ago that the war would be over soon. He’s a good friend, but not the most on-point. I send my wife another selfie from the taxi to the hotel. I’m in the back seat. Eyes open wide at the camera. Completely dry. Nothing to worry about, honey, it’s all good.”
