More quotes by Charles Lindbergh

In wilderness, I sense the miracle of life, and behind it, our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.

Lindbergh: Flight's Enigmatic Hero (2002)

I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

Life — a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
