What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.
I don't know about you, but I find it exhilarating to see how vague psychological notions evaporate and give rise to a physical, mechanistic understanding of the mind, even if it's the mind of the fly.
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.
Learning how to fly, for me, was so euphoric.
If I could have a special power in real life I'd love to fly.
The perfect gadget would somehow allow me to fly. Isn't that what everybody wants? It would also cook a damn good microwave pizza. So while in flight you had something to eat - an in-flight meal. Where would I go? Well, nowadays, it would probably just take me to work a lot quicker.
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
The sensation of flying is incredible, and it's such a miraculous notion to go into the air and see the world without delineation.
Meticulous planning will enable everything a man does to appear spontaneous.
Fly flight is just a great phenomenon to study. It has everything - from the most sophisticated sensory biology; really, really interesting physics; really interesting muscle physiology; really interesting neural computations.
