She wondered what it would be like to fly, to feel the air, cold and bracing on your face, to be able to spread wings whenever you felt cornered, to have the power to distance yourself at will, weightless, and safely out of reach.

About This Quote

She wondered what it would be like to fly, to feel the air, cold and bracing on your face, to be able to spread wings whenever you felt cornered, to have the power to distance yourself at will, weightless, and safely out of reach. This is a quote from a short story by Richard Bach. In the story the character is describing his first time riding a bicycle. He describes how magical it felt as he rode into the sunset.

When I read this quote it reminds me of how a first roller coaster ride feels. It is a feeling of wonderment and excitement as you look around at all of the sights and sounds around you. The unexpectedness of the ride keeps you on your toes as you try to keep from falling off your seat.
