What is love? As far as I can tell, it is passion, admiration and respect. If you have two, you have enough. If you have all three, you don't have to die to go to heaven.

Sometimes looking so hard can make one blind.

Movement is most of what a bird is. When they're dead, they're only feathers and air.

People can't fly because they don't believe they can. If nobody ever showed people they could swim, everybody'd drown if they were dropped into the water.

Things come apart much easier than they go together.

There's no end to the absurd things people will do trying to make life mean something.

The first time I flew, it was being alive. Nothing was pressing under me. I was living in the fullness of air; air all around me, no holding place to break the air spaces. It's worth everything to be alone in the air, alive.
