“Every flight is a gamble. If we don’t smash into a cloud bound hillside, we might be picked off like a defenceless lamb by a lone wolf Messerschmitt with a gaping maw painted on its fuselage.”
― Kate Lord Brown, The Beauty Chorus

“If you ride the bucking peaks and troughs of celebrity long enough you become a national treasure. If you have the sense to die in mysterious circumstances you become a legend”
― Kate Lord Brown, The Beauty Chorus

“Only regret the things you don't do”
