Bubbles

"Life is basically a soap bubble. 

It rides on the wind, flying here and there, 

and before you realize it ....'pop'! its gone. 

When it's about to disappear, 

you think you could have flown bit higher,

 but by that time it's already too late." 

Sakata Gintoki (Gintama, Japanese Anime-source-Gintama quotes)

"Double, double toil and trouble;

 fire burn and cauldron bubble." 

Shakespeare (Macbeth, Act 4 )

Flight

"My soul is in the sky" 

William Shakespeare (A midsummer night's dream)

"It is wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, 

behind me and before me is god and I have no fears" 

Helen Keller

"Man must rise above the earth-

to the top of the atmosphere and beyond-

for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives" 

Socrates 

"Withal a soul like the bird, who pausing in her flight, 

a while on boughs to slight, 

feel them give away beneath her and yet sings knowing that she hath wings" 

Frank Lloyd Wright (Translation from Victor Hugo's  'Les chant du crepescule')

"The human bird shall take his first flight, 

filling the world with amazement, 

all writings with his flame and bringing eternal glory to the nest whence he sprang"

 Leonardo da Vinci
