Relying exclusively on air power has limits: planes are effective against fixed strategic targets, like petroleum storage, bridges, and command bunkers; but even then, air power rarely succeeds by itself in destroying a regime's ability to command and control its forces.

The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing.

Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh.

Power is power. It's energy. And if you get big, big energy, you can use that in a good way.

With us air people, the future of our nation is indissolubly bound up in the development of air power.

Power, as in the power structure, is why we are still using gas in cars.

'Air' is what the world looks like: An inconvenient mashup of human politics and divine geography. We leave bits and pieces of ourselves and our history in every place we encounter.

Air is traditionally 'thin,' but the more we learn about our atmosphere, the more substantial it becomes. In some places it is so filled with inorganic flotsam that it is almost thick enough to plough; in others, it has become so primed with the by-products of life that it comes close to being a living tissue in its own right.

Another mode of accumulating power arises from lifting a weight and then allowing it to fall.

No matter how rich you are, you can't get healthy air.
