“ You wanna fly, you got to give up the things that weigh you down.”
“ What’s the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?”
“ The only way to get rid of the past is to make it part of your future.”
“ If you surrendered to the air, you could write a poem.”
“ You can’t fly without wings.”
