„We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.“
„A trapeze to God, or to nothing, a flying trapeze to some sort of eternity; he prayed objectively for strength to make the flight with grace.“
„Evidently, there is a political element in the attack on The Satanic Verses which has killed and injured good if obstreperous Muslims in Islamabad, though it may be dangerously blasphemous to suggest it. The Ayatollah Khomeini is probably within his self-elected rights in calling for the assassination of Salman Rushdie, or of anyone else for that matter, on his own holy ground. To order outraged sons of the Prophet to kill him, and the directors of Penguin Books, on British soil is tantamount to a jihad. It is a declaration of war on citizens of a free country, and as such it is a political act. It has to be countered by an equally forthright, if less murderous, declaration of defiance…. I do not think that even our British Muslims will be eager to read that great vindication of free speech, which is John Milton’s Areopagitica. Oliver Cromwell’s Republic proposed muzzling the press, and Milton replied by saying, in effect, that the truth must declare itself by battling with falsehood in the dust and heat…. I gain the impression that few of the protesting Muslims in Britain know directly what they are protesting against. Their Imams have told them that Mr Rushdie has published a blasphemous book and must be punished. They respond with sheeplike docility and wolflike aggression. They forgot what Nazis did to books … they shame a free country by denying free expression through the vindictive agency of bonfires…. If they do not like secular society, they must fly to the arms of the Ayatollah or some other self-righteous guardian of strict Islamic morality.“
„Lydgate opened the sort of letter…”My dear husband I very good…I come in flying ship…we be very happy…love.” It was as satisfactory a letter as he had ever received from a woman.“
„Sit like a fool then, crassly emptyingGlass after wineglass in some foul tavern,Watching the night and its candles gutter,Snoring at sunrise.In England now the wind blows highAnd clouds brush rudely at the sky;The blood runs thinly through my frame,I half-caress the hearthstone’s flame,Oppressed by autumn’s desolate cry.Then homesick for the south am I,For where the lucky swallows fly,But each warm land is just a nameIn England now.The luckless workers I espyWith chins dipped low and collars high,Walk into winter, do not blameThe shifting globe. A gust of shameRepresses my unmanly sighIn England now.“
„Horror jolts me when I look at one of you and see a pair of beautiful eyes that make me think your mind might contain a world that could hold me as the bolts shake loose and fly from my frame.“
„If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply;Reflecting the sun and all that’s gone by.Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly.Fly high, my baby bird,My angel, my only“
„Years fly by, but the heart stays in the same place.“
„When shall we see a life full of steady enthusiasm, walking straight to its aim, flying home, as that bird is now, against the wind — with the calmness and the confidence of one who knows the laws of God and can apply them?“
„Did you know that baby,You’re the bluebird in my sky,I only want to make you happyBecause I love you see you fly“
„And they sayShe’s in the Class A Team.Stuck in her daydream,Been this way since 18.But lately her face seemsSlowly sinking, wasting,Crumbling like pastries.And they screamThe worst things in life come free to us.Cos we’re just under the upperhandAnd go mad for a couple of grams.And she don’t want to go outside tonight.And in a pipe she flies to the MotherlandOr sells love to another man.It’s too cold outsideFor angels to fly;Angels to fly.“
„But, brave,Thou at first prompting of what I call God,And fools call Nature, didst hear, comprehend,Accept the obligation laid on thee,Mother elect, to save the unborn child,As brute and bird do, reptile and the fly,Ay and, I nothing doubt, even tree, shrub, plantAnd flower o’ the field, all in a common pactTo worthily defend the trust of trusts,Life from the Ever Living“
„”Man is born unto the trouble as the sparks fly upwards.” In other words suffering is germane to our existence; indeed, how without it, should we be able to “fly upwards”.“
„Some day we too will fly off in some communal capsule, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, Hippies, liberated women, young workers on the line, and G. I.’s sitting in stockades because they don’t want to go to Vietnam. There will be a whole mess of us laughing and getting stoned on our way to OUTERSPACE, and the first thing we’re gonna do out there is to rip down that fuckin flag on the moon.“
„We are not youth any longer. We don’t want to take the world by storm. We are fleeing. We fly from ourselves. From our life. We were eighteen and had begun to love life and the world; and we had to shoot it to pieces.“
„Move like a beam of light;Fly like lightning,Strike like thunder,Whirl in circles aroundA stable center.“
„Regarding technique, from ancient times it has been said that movements must fly like lightning and attacks must strike like thunder.“
„I guess it’s like an airplane: they’re the drag and we’re the thrust, together we make the thing fly. Too much of us and we’re nose-heavy, too much of them and we’re tail-heavy—it’s a matter of balance.“
„”Does all the beauty of the world stop when you die?””No,” said the Old Oak; “it will last much longer – longer than I can even think of.””Well, then,” said the little May-fly, “we have the same time to live; only we reckon differently.“
„When he saw Tiny, he was delighted, and thought her the prettiest little maiden he had ever seen. He took the gold crown from his head, and placed it on hers, and asked her name, and if she would be his wife, and queen over all the flowers. This certainly was a very different sort of husband to the son of a toad, or the mole, with my black velvet and fur; so she said, “Yes,” to the handsome prince. Then all the flowers opened, and out of each came a little lady or a tiny lord, all so pretty it was quite a pleasure to look at them. Each of them brought Tiny a present; but the best gift was a pair of beautiful wings, which had belonged to a large white fly and they fastened them to Tiny’s shoulders, so that she might fly from flower to flower.“
