We're different, we're the same. You thought you'd never find a word to say to a woman who didn't fly airplanes. I couldn't imagine myself spending time with a man who didn't love music. Could it be it's not as important to be alike as it is to be curious? Because we're different, we can have the fun of exchanging worlds, giving our loves and excitements to each other. You can learn music, I can learn flying. And that's only the beginning. I think it would go on for us as long as we live.

I do everything myself, from engine start to engine shutdown. In a war, I will face alone the missiles and the flak and the small-arms fire over the front lines. If I die, I will die alone.

I'm a writer as rarely as possible, when forced by an idea too lovely to let die unwritten

I’m here not because I am supposed to be here, or because I’m trapped here, but because I’d rather be with you than anywhere else in the world.

Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?

If you're always looking at someone else, trying to imitate them, how can your natural gifts ever emerge?

A tiny change today brings a dramatically different tomorrow.
