Elizabeth Wein Quotes

Each Force In Flight Is Balanced By An Opposing Force. The Opposite Of Lift Is Weight. Weight Is Always Trying To Pull An Object Back To Earth, So To Get Something To Stay Up, Lift Has To Be Greater Than Weight. You'd Think Your Weight Would Always Be The Same, But It Isn't. When You Do Aerobatics Or Go Into A Dive - Like A Kite That's Plunging Into The Sand At The Beach - There's An Increase In Gravity, And That Makes You Weigh More. If You Want Your Heavy Kite To Stay In The Air, You Have To Increase The Lift, As Well. Maybe By Waiting For A Stronger Wind. Maybe By Finding A Windier Place To Fly Your Kite. Maddie Brought Lift Back Into My Life By Forcing Me Outside. So Did Bob, Who Introduced Me To The Editors Of This Magazine. So Did Fernande, The Chambermaid At The Paris Ritz, Who Gave Me Her Daughter's Clothes And Made Me Get Dressed And Brought Me Coffee Every Morning For Three Weeks.
