Charles Lindbergh Quotes About Flying

• Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.

  Charles Augustus Lindbergh (1978). “Autobiography of values”, Harcourt

• Ciencia, libertad, belleza, aventura: ¿qué más se le puede pedir a la vida? La aviación combinaba todos los elementos que me gustaban. Había ciencia en cada curva de un perfil aerodinámico, en cada ángulo entre puntal y cable, en el hueco de una bujía o en el color de la llama del tubo de escape. Había libertad en el horizonte ilimitado, en los campos abiertos donde uno aterrizaba. El piloto estaba rodeado de la belleza de la tierra y el cielo. Rozaba las copas de los árboles con los pájaros, saltaba valles y ríos, exploraba los cañones de nubes que había contemplado de niño. La aventura se escondía en cada ráfaga de viento.

• What freedom lies in flying, what Godlike power it gives to men . . . I lose all consciousness in this strong unmortal space crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.

  Fuerte, Mentira, Hombres

• No estoy obligado a dedicarme a la aviación en absoluto. Estoy aquí sólo porque amo el cielo y volar más que cualquier otra cosa en la tierra. Por supuesto que hay peligro; pero una cierta cantidad de peligro es esencial para la calidad de vida. No creo en "correr riesgos tontos", pero no se puede conseguir nada sin correr ningún riesgo.

  "El espíritu de San Luis".

• I began to feel that I lived on a higher plane than the skeptics of the ground; one that was richer because of its very association with the element of danger they dreaded, because it was freer of the earth to which they were bound. In flying, I tasted a wine of the gods of which they could know nothing. Who valued life more highly, the aviators who spent it on the art they loved, or these misers who doled it out like pennies through their antlike days? I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.

  Beauty, Adventure, Flying

  Charles A. Lindbergh, Reeve Lindbergh (2003). “The Spirit of St. Louis”, p.261, Simon and Schuster

• It was that quality that led me into aviation in the first place — it was a love of the air and sky and flying, the lure of adventure, the appreciation of beauty. It lay beyond the descriptive words of man — where immortality is touched through danger, where life meets death on equal plane; where man is more than man, and existence both supreme and valueless at the same instant.

  Appreciation, Adventure, Men

  Charles A. Lindbergh, Reeve Lindbergh (2003). “The Spirit of St. Louis”, p.255, Simon and Schuster

• Any coward can sit in his home and criticize a pilot for flying into a mountain in a fog. But I would rather, by far, die on a mountainside than in bed. What kind of man would live where there is no daring? And is life so dear that we should blame men for dying in adventure? Is there a better way to die?

  Charles Augustus Lindbergh (1970). “The wartime journals of Charles A. Lindbergh”, Harcourt

• Puede que esté pilotando un complicado avión, surcando el espacio a toda velocidad, pero en esta cabina estoy rodeado de sencillez y pensamientos liberados del tiempo. Qué separadas parecen las cosas íntimas que me rodean del gran mundo de abajo. Qué extraña es esta combinación de proximidad y separación. Ese suelo, a segundos de distancia, a miles de kilómetros. Este aire, agitándose suavemente a mi alrededor. Ese aire, corriendo con la velocidad de un tornado, una pulgada más allá. Estos pequeños detalles en mi cabina. La grandeza del mundo exterior. La cercanía de la muerte. La longevidad de la vida.

• My father had been opposed to my flying from the first and had never flown himself. However, he had agreed to go up with me at the first opportunity, and one afternoon he climbed into the cockpit and we flew over the Redwood Falls together. From that day on I never heard a word against my flying and he never missed a chance to ride in the plane.

• Not long ago, when I was a student in college, just flying an airplane seemed a dream. But that dream turned into reality.

• And if at times you renounce experience and mind's heavy logic, it seems that the world has rushed along on its orbit, leaving you alone flying above a forgotten cloud bank, somewhere in the solitude of interstellar space.

  Charles A. Lindbergh, Reeve Lindbergh (2003). “The Spirit of St. Louis”, p.262, Simon and Schuster

• Possibly everyone will travel by air in another fifty years. I'm not sure I like the idea of millions of planes flying around overhead. I love the sky's unbroken solitude. I don't like to think of it cluttered up by aircraft, as roads are cluttered up by cars. I feel like the western pioneer when he saw barbed-wire fence lines encroaching on his open plains. The success of his venture brought the end of the life he loved.

• At the end of the first half-century of engine-driven flight, we are confronted with the stark fact that the historical significance of aircraft has been primarily military and destructive.
