I Know Myself As Mortal, But This

I Believe The Risks I Take Are Justified By The Sheer Love Of The Life I Lead.

I Can't Get Used To The Ease With Which One Covers The World Today. It's No Longer An Effort--pole--equator--oceans--continents--it's Just A Question Of Which Way You Point The Nose Of Your Plane. The Pure Joy Of Flight As An Art Has Given Way To The Pure Efficiency Of Flight As A Science.... Science Is Insulating Man From Life -- Separating His Mind From His Senses. The Worst Of It Is That It Soon Anaesthetizes His Senses So That He Doesn't Know What He's Missing.

We Cannot Allow The Natural Passions And Prejudices Of Other Peoples To Lead Our Country To Destruction.

In Wilderness I Sense The Miracle Of Life.

I Have Seen The Science I Worshiped, And The Aircraft I Loved, Destroying The Civilization I Expected Them To Serve.
