“World's flying like birds; my car's in flight. The city lights are spattered on my windshield like the fragments of the night. And I'm in flight. The sky's a wheel, a merry-go-round of wings and snow and steel, and fire. We'll tread the sky, we'll ride the scarlet horses.” WorldLightNightCitiesFireSkyCarBirdHorseWingsRoundsFlyingSnowFlightWheelsSteelFragmentsMerryScarletMerry Go RoundCity Lights Author:Tanith Lee

Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the future.” ThinkingBodyAbleMovingPerfectObjectsHorseMythologyFlyingTimelessVenusZeusGrandkidsPegasus Author:Michio Kaku
“With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.” PainBitsSeaFeetThousandMouthsHorseWaveWideFlyingIronTailsSpursReinsWild HorsesInspirational Horse Author:Lord Byron
“I think hawking is the nearest thing to flying in this world. There you sit high up and poised light as air, the horse swift beneath you. You unhood your bird, let the jesses go and watch your falcon, its bells a-jingle, like some wild spirit take the air... and your own spirit goes with it.” ThinkingWorldLightSpiritWatchesAirThis WorldBirdHorseFlyingBellsFalconJingles Author:Hilda Lewis

“I jumped horses over big dangerous fences in competition. And got very, very good at it, at quite a high level. And I realized long since that, yeah, it's the same thing that appeals to me about it.

“I looked across the river to Manhattan. It was a great view. When Sadie and I had first arrived at Brooklyn House, Amos had told us that magicians tried to stay out of Manhattan. He said Manhattan had other problems--whatever that meant. And sometimes when I looked across the water, I could swear I was seeing things. Sadie laughed about it, but once I thought I saw a flying horse. Probably just the mansion's magic barriers causing optical illusions, but still, it was weird.” FirstsSaidStillsSometimesProblemHouseWaterViewsSawsSeeingMagicIllusionRiversHorseFlyingBarriersLaughedSwearMagicianBrooklynManhattanMansionsSadieOptical Illusions Author:Rick Riordan

“And in me too the wave rises. It swells; it arches its back. I am aware once more of a new desire, something rising beneath me like the proud horse whose rider first spurs and then pulls him back. What enemy do we now perceive advancing against us, you whom I ride now, as we stand pawing this stretch of pavement? It is death. Death is the enemy. It is death against whom I ride with my spear couched and my hair flying back like a young man's, like Percival's, when he galloped in India. I strike spurs into my horse. Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!” MenFirstsYoungDesireEnemyHairProudIndiaHorseWaveStrikesFlyingPerceiveYoung ManRisingRidersAdvancingSpursSpearsFlingArchesPavementUnyielding Book:Selected Works of Virginia Woolf Source: Selected Works of Virginia Woolf
