I listen to a lot of ’80s stuff, like ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart,’ by the group Yes. And Mr. Mister‘s ‘Broken Wings.’
Timbaland

196

Ted Lindsay

I don’t believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It’s on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it’s supposed to give you a parking space. It’s worked so far.
201
Buffalo wings and cider is all I need.
202
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
203
I love Westlife. I turn up the stereo and listen to the a capella version of ‘Flying Without Wings’. Any man who says he doesnt do the same is lying.
204
I want the people of New Jersey to jump off a cliff like Kurt Vonnegut so I can show them how to fly. This way, nobody needs to grow any wings, which would be impossible anyway because we’re humans and not some kind of bird.
205
Healthy love, I always think, is… wanting the person you love to be more of themselves. And I think for a parent that’s a challenge, because you have to let a baby spread its wings.
206
I have angel wings and a halo on my wrist, which I got done on my 30th birthday in memory of my brother.
207

Theodore Dreiser
210
I have got a scheme to make a thing in the form of a horse with a steam engine in the inside so contrived as to move an immense pair of wings, fixed on the outside of the horse, in such a manner as to carry it up into the air while a person sits on its back.
211
The man who has no imagination has no wings.
212
As industry‘s tycoons of the Thirties got their wings clipped, labor‘s leaders in the Eighties are getting their wings clipped. Not because of any class-related antagonism, but because any excess, ultimately, is its own undoing.
Paul Harvey
213
On my back, I have the cross and angel wings: rise above it, no matter what life throws at you. And also, you know, Jesus rose from the grave.
214
Don’t put wings on me; I am no angel.
215
Religion is not a burden, not a weight, it is wings.
216
I started thinking about my relationship with my students; I’m this guy who comes in from book – and movie – land and descends on angel wings into their classroom.
Richard Price
217
I could share an hour of warm camaraderie with Dad, then once I’d walked out the door, get the uncanny feeling I’d disappeared into the wings of his mind’s stage, like a character no longer necessary to the ongoing story line.
218
Of what use were wings to a man fast bound in chains of iron?
Adelbert von Chamisso
219
I’ve always been fascinated by everything with wings.
220
Of course I love the action. I absolutely love doing action movies; it’s what makes me tick, but I think my dream role is a movie that Will Smith‘s company has called ‘Paper Wings.’
221
Purity and simplicity are the two wings with which man soars above the earth and all temporary nature.
222
I hired a full-time chef, so I wasn’t taking that time to order pizzas or eat Wild Wings or stuff like that. I travel somewhere, I’m gone for a long period, I have a chef. I think that elevated my game.
223
Presenting the Oscars was the most nerve-racking job I have ever done in show business. It’s very much a live show: they have comedy writers waiting in the wings, and as you come off between presentations, they hand you an appropriate gag to tell.
224
It’s been a great honor for me to be a player for the Detroit Red Wings, to play for an Original Six franchise. I know I’m far from perfect, but I learned a lot.
225
I’m pretty excited when I get a good kick up in the air and our wings start chasing, because I know it’s a 50-50. When you kick well and compete well, the odds fall on our side.
226
That’s the kind of music I want SoulBird to represent: music with intelligence and heart, music that moves people in their souls and their bodies. Music with wings.
227
If I see someone saying the rosary in the wings, I know they’ve got talent.
228
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
229
I think I’m a three. But if we got three wings out there, I’ll go play the four. As a four, I’m in the post a lot more. It changes your role.

Birds have wings; they’re free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.
