“After reading ... accounts ... of minor accidents of light, it is little wonder that the average man would far rather watch someone else fly and read of the narrow escapes from death when some pilot has had a forced landing or a blowout, than to ride himself. Even in the postwar days of now obsolete equipment, nearly all of the serious accidents were caused by inexperienced pilots who where then allowed to fly or attempt to fly-without license or restrictions about anything they could coax into the air.” MenLittlesLightReadingWonderWatchesAirSeriousAccountsSafetyAverageAccidentsAviationPilotsMinorsEquipmentLicenseRestrictionObsoleteLandingAverage ManBlowouts Author:Charles Lindbergh

“The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance ... or change. Once such incantatory phrases as "we see now through a glass darkly" and "mysterious are the ways". He chooses His wonders to perform" are mastered, logic can be happily tossed out the window". Religious mania is one of the few infallible ways of responding to the world's vagaries, because it totally eliminates pure accident. To the true religious maniac, it's all on purpose.” WorldWayFirstsHappensPurposeLeftCausesReligiousChanceWonderPureWindowLogicGlassesAccidentsAcceptedMysteriousMortalsPhrasesSatanRespondingInfallibleManiaManiacs Author:Stephen King
