STYLE AND LANGUAGE

Twice read sentences

I want to fly where no seagull has flew before. I want to know what there is to know about life!

Heaven isn't a place; heaven is perfection

Perfect speed isn't moving fast at all; perfect speed is being there

To fly as fast as thought to anywhere… you begin by knowing that you have already arrived...

The gull sees farthest who files highest

It was filmed in 1973Directed by Hall BartlettOscar nomination for Best Cinematography
