Karen Blixen Quote

It is not the visions but the activity which makes you happy, and the joy and glory of the flier is the flight itself... Every time I have gone up in an aeroplane and looked down have realized I was free of the ground, I have had the consciousness of a new discovery. "I see:" I have thought, "This was the idea. And now I understand everything."
