When you fly a balloon you don’t file a flight plan; you go where the wind goes. You feel like part of the air. You almost feel like part of eternity, and you just float along.

You're beautiful, like a May fly.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.

It's like floating. Um, it's so great to be up in the air.

It's awesome and it's invigorating. (Flying is) a great joy,

We take to the breeze, we go as we please.

You can do it! You believe! Feel it in your gizzard. You are a creature of flight. Fly, my children. Fly!

Comme elles tombent bien !
Dans ce trajet si court de la branche à la terre,
Comme elles savent mettre une beauté dernière,
Et, malgré leur terreur de pourrir sur le sol,
Veulent que cette chute ait la grâce d'un vol !

Holy flying fuck, that thing took off!

Sweet Sometime, fly fast for me.

Flying is the tension between freedom and responsibility. The obligation on every flight is to ensure the safety of the people aboard. It's serious. And I continually have to meet the standards. And: it's the third dimension! We're living the two dimensional life here on the ground. When you get up there and you see the third dimension - that's what's so exciting about these kids, the Young Eagles. You fly 'em over their house and it's the first time they really know where they live.

As time passed and Harry flew and flew and flew, he forgot all about the fog, the city below him, and just about everything. Nothing in the world seemed to matter but wings, and sky, and motion. The free and endless kind of motion that people are always looking for in a hundred different ways.

Flying was the way a swing swoops up; and the glide down a slide. It was the shoot of a sled downhill without the long climb back up. It was the very best throat-tightening thrills of skis, skates, surfboards and trampolines. Diving boards, merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels, .roller coasters, skate boards and soap-box coasters. It was all of them, one after the other, all at once and a thousand times over.

- Birds fly like birds and a man who has taken the devil's weed flies as such.
- As birds do?
- No, he flies as a man who has taken the weed.

I wanna dance, I wanna fly, gotta get my theme on, gotta shine
