• Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him. The writers of flight who have done this are usually found together in a special section on private bookshelves.

• And he supposed it might not be the best of days. But then, he was flying the mails and was not expected to squat on the ground like a frightened canary every time there was a cloud in the sky. If a pilot showed an obvious preference for flying only in the best conditions he soon found himself looking for work. This was the way of his life and he had always ascended when others had found excuse to keep their feet on the ground.

• La armonía llega gradualmente a un piloto y su avión. El ala no quiere tanto volar en línea recta como tirar de las manos que la guían; el barco prefiere cazar el viento que asomar la nariz al horizonte. Tiene una cualidad abandonada en su carácter; juega con la libertad e insinúa la liberación, pero cede suavemente a sus propios deseos.

• Jonathan Livingston Gaviota... no era un ave ordinaria. La mayoría de las gaviotas no se molestan
  para aprender más que los hechos más simples de vuelo cómo llegar desde la orilla a la comida y viceversa. Para la mayoría de las gaviotas, lo importante no es volar, sino comer. Para esta gaviota
  gaviota, sin embargo, no era comer lo que importaba, sino volar. Más que cualquier otra cosa,
  Jonathan Livingston Gaviota amaba volar.

• There are airmen and there are pilots: the first being part bird whose view from aloft is normal and comfortable, a creature whose brain and muscles frequently originate movements which suggest flight; and then there are pilots who regardless of their airborne time remain earth-loving bipeds forever. When these latter unfortunates, because of one urge or another, actually make an ascension, they neither anticipate nor relish the event and they drive their machines with the same graceless labor they inflict upon the family vehicle.
