Stephen Coonts Quotes

• Here above the farms and ranches of the Great Plains aviation lives up to the promise that inspired dreamers through the ages. Here you are truly separate from the earth, at least for a little while, removed from the cares and concerns that occupy you on the ground. This separation from the earth is more than symbolic, more than a physical removal - it has an emotional dimension as tangible as the wood, fabric, and steel that has transported you aloft.

• Estoy vivo. Aquí arriba, con el canto del motor y el aire susurrando en mi cara mientras la luz del sol y las sombras juegan sobre las alas, estoy completamente, vibrantemente vivo. Con la palanca en la mano derecha, el acelerador en la izquierda y el timón bajo mis pies, puedo saborear esa esencia de la que está hecha la vida.

• This thing we call luck is merely professionalism and attention to detail, it's your awareness of everything that is going on around you, it's how well you know and understand your airplane and your own limitations. Luck is the sum total of your of abilities as an aviator. If you think your luck is running low, you'd better get busy and make some more. Work harder. Pay more attention. Do better preflights.

• Writers shouldn't fall in love with their characters so much that they lose sight of what they're trying to accomplish. The idea is to write a whole story, a whole book. A writer has to be able to look at that story and see whether or not a character works, whether or not a character needs further definition.
