Amelia Earhart quotes

1897–1937 · Atchison, KS

• Meeting new people and new situations becomes an interesting adventure, and one learns to value fresh experiences as much as old associations.

• So much of woman’s excitement through the ages has been pushing the men into adventure that they have the habit of hanging back a little.

• Inheritance, training and environment seem to make women less aggressive than men, although in real courage I think they are equals.

• There is so much to be done in aviation and so much fun to be got from it, that I had become increasingly involved before the flight of the Friendship.

• I can only hope, therefore, that some of the fun of flying the Atlantic has sifted into my pages and that some of the charm and romance of old ships may be seen to cling similarly to the ships of the air.
