“Common sense is the result of the truest education. Education is like wine. It takes time. It's a process. The young sometimes have to go through it. And sometimes, they die trying. Sincerely, The Obi Library Collective of Leopard Knox, Department of Responsibility”

“Whenever we talk about a pilot who has been killed in a flying accident, we should all keep one thing in mind. He called upon the sum of all his knowledge and made a judgment. He believed in it so strongly that he knowingly bet his life on it. That his judgment was faulty is a tragedy, not stupidity. Every instructor, supervisor, and contemporary who ever spoke to him had an opportunity to influence his judgment, so a little bit of all of us goes with every pilot we lose.”
