"Just try and remember," I said slowly," that if God had intended men to fly He'd have given us wings. So all flying is flying in the face of nature. It's unnatural, wicked and stuffed with risks all the time. The secret to flying is learning to minimize the risks." "Or perhaps - the secret of life is to choose your risks?"

Gavin Lyall

The greatest sin is not finding it, ignoring what God made possible in you.

Jesus was not just godly, godlike, God hungry, God focused, or God worshipping. He was God. Not merely a servant of God, instrument of God, or friend of God, but Jesus was God.

Max Lucado

Maybe we are all prospective migrants. The lines of national borders on maps are artificial constructs, as unnatural to us as they are to birds flying overhead. Our first impulse is to ignore them.

Mohsin Hamid

War is unnatural, it causes people to act unnaturally.

Anthony Marra

all the science of flying has been captured in the breadth of an instrument board, but not the religion of it.
