写在工作日志里的飞行故事。"No human pursuit achieves dignity until it can be called work, and when you can experience a physical loneliness for the tools of your trade, you see that the other things --- the experiments, the irrelevant vocations, the vanities you used to hold --- were false to you." 越好的故事越要讲得不动声色。
leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can.

It is no good telling yourself that one day you will wish you had never made that change; it is no good anticipating regrets. Every tomorrow ought not to resemble every yesterday.
幼时随非洲土著去打猎，十八岁离家去驯马，后来开飞机。始终开阔自由，不迟疑不流连。细节之处却有情义。赞美一只猎犬如同赞美勇士，爱马如同爱情人，父亲的照片始终留在身边，题名daddy,始终是个崇拜父亲的小女孩。独自穿越大西洋，穿越黑夜，众人欢呼声中得知Tom死讯，留着一张照片直到死去。除了打猎，驯马，飞行，就是父亲和汤姆，永远的父亲，永远的老师。前行时不要回望，沉默也许是最深刻的表达。
用不动声色的口吻讲述了一个震撼人心的故事 “It makes you feel bigger than you are, closer to being something you’ve sensed you might be capable of, but never had the courage to seriously imagine.”
一星给narrator 读的太棒了👏

搭配爵士乐意外得合适
因为香水而开启的故事，a true romance。
