Gita Trelease
“Rosier flung himself off his horse and ran towards then, already shouting. 'What a landing! What skill! The Prince and Princess of the Air!'
'And me?' said Armand, tossing Rosier a rope. 'Don't I warrant a mention?'
'Bah, you're not in this story!' Rosier pulled back on the line, holding it tight. 'My story is full of passion! Poetry! Danger and Thrills! But, if I ever write something in praise of tiny little numbers in a row - then Armand, you will be the hero.”
Gita Trelease, Enchantée

Mike Kendrick
“We just got word that Virgin Airlines (which Branson owns) was awarded a commercial route into Shanghai. So the balloon must be doing some good.”
Mike Kendrick, Thursday's Child: The Mike Kendrick Story
