“I learned to fly in three weeks.”

“Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science.”

“I was not afraid of the dark. I was not afraid of the anything. I was not afraid of the life. I was not afraid of the death.”

“You have to go out and meet people, and you have to be willing to take a chance.”

“The airplane is a great equalizer.”

“I wanted to be a pilot, and I was going to be one.”

“I have no sense of fear.”

“If you have the desire, you can do anything.”

“I might have been born in a hovel, but I am determined to travel with the wind and the stars.”

“To live in the past is to die in the present.”

“The sky is the limit only for those who are not afraid to fly.”

“Flying is the best possible thing for women.”
