Gaiety is the most outstanding feature of the Soviet Union.

Nobody respects a country with a poor army, but everybody respects a country with a good army. I raise my toast to the Finnish army.

Love is what it takes to fly.

Everyone has the right to run his own life- even if you’re heading for a crash. What I’m against is blind flying.

You can’t fly unless you let yourself fall.

Don’t sweat, don’t cry, we don’t need no wings to fly.

The human race is like a bird and it needs both wings to be able to fly.
