"Mitos Yunani bersifat heroik, mulia, dan tragis; tetapi Impian Amerika adalah heroik, lucu, dan membangkitkan semangat. Orang Amerika adalah orang-orang di mana ambisi yang terlalu tinggi dihargai, bukan dihukum. The Wright Brothers tidak memiliki sayap yang meleleh ketika mereka terbang terlalu tinggi. Mungkin sayap mereka lebih kuat dari sayap Icarus."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Greek myths are heroic, noble and tragic; but the American Dream is heroic, comical, and uplifting. Americans are a people in whom overweening ambition is rewarded, not punished. The Wright Brothers did not have their wings melt when they flew too high. Perhaps their wings were more soundly built than those of Icarus.
