Inscription.

"I used to imagine myself with wings on which I could swoop down off our roof into the valley, soaring through the air from one river bank to another."

"The accumulation of knowledge, the discoveries of science, the products of technology, our ideas, our art, our social structures, all the achievements of mankind have value only to the extent that they preserve and improve the quality of life."

"Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life? Aviation combined all the elements I loved."

Charles A. Lindbergh
