If one wanted to find a modern symbol of personal freedom, the motor car is right there near the top of the list. But a car has come to mean much more than that. It has become a powerful statement about who you are and how much you earn.

Martin Jacques

It turns out that if you optimize the performance of a car and of an airplane, they are very far away in terms of mechanical features. So you can make a flying car. But they are not very good planes, and they are not very good cars.

Gregory Benford

Mark my word - A combination airplane and motor car is coming.

Henry Ford

I can't afford the luxury of music while I'm flying an airplane. I have to pay attention to what I'm doing.

Arnold Palmer

If you take one rivet out of an airplane, it will be all right, it'll keep flying. You take another rivet out of the airplane and it still flies. So what the heck, let's take more rivets out of the airplane, and sooner or later, the airplane drops from the sky.

Ted Danson

I was interested in flying beginning at age 7, when a close family friend took me in his little airplane. And I remember looking at the wheel of the airplane as we rolled down the runway, because I wanted to remember the exact moment that I first went flying... the other thing growing up is that I was always interested in science.

If there's one great thing I think that's happened over the years, it's that women are being accepted into a man's world in all different areas, whether it's flying an airplane or driving a race car.

Danica Patrick

I was a pilot flying an airplane and it just so happened that, where I was flying, made what I was doing spying.

The flying? I'm not worried about it. I'm safe up there. I feel very comfortable with my abilities flying an airplane.

Cory Lidle

Spaceflight, especially in the Mercury spacecraft, clearly wasn't going to be much like flying an airplane.

Henry Spencer

I don't do any exercises when flying but use compression socks and spend as much time as possible lying down. I try not to eat much - I'm not a fan of airplane food; everything is just so weird.

Petra Kvitova

To climb into an airplane and motor up by yourself, it is just amazing.

Guion Bluford

I love flying so much. I even airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

Margot Robbie

A word in a dictionary is very much like a car in a mammoth motor show - full of potential but temporarily inactive.

Anthony Burgess

I love flying so much. I even like airplane food. No one bothers you and your phone never goes off and you can't have emails go through. It's undisturbed.

Margot Robbie

It's not a case of 'look at me in my car'; it's more, 'look at the car'. I like the idea of other people enjoying them, because everything has become a bit faceless and nobody likes the motor car any more.
