“When everything seem to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it ....”

“The dust cannot fight against the wind; the wind cannot fight against the mountain. Everything and everyone has a battle to lose!”

“Perhaps if human desire is said out loud, the urban planes, the prisons, the architectual mirrors will take off, as airplanes do. The black planes will take off into the night air and the night winds, sliding past and behind each other, zooming, turning and turning in the redness of the winds, living, never to return.”

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn.”

“The first impression scares the shit out of me, but it’s breathtaking, too, like when you push off a cliff and feel the wind against your face. At that point, you’re not thinking of anything but free fall.”

“If the wind rises it can push us against the flood when it comes.”
