“I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.”

If I can create the minimum of my plans and desires there shall be no regrets.

Tell them that as soon as I can walk I’m going to fly!

I’m more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I’m not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.
