So I accept these awards on behalf of the cake bakers and all of those other women who can do some things quite as important, if not more important, than flying, as well as in the name of women flying today.

The lure of flying is the lure of beauty.

In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.

You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.

Everyone has ocean's to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?

Trouble in the air is very rare. It is hitting the ground that causes it.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
