“How can you ricochet from a moment where you are on top of the world to one where you are crawling at rock bottom”

“Where does one go from the bottom? You hit the bottom of the well and what? People say the only place to go is up, but they seem to ignore how long you can spend wallowing in the muck at the bottom of the well.”

“But this is such a "Wheel" moment. That song rocks. The best part is where John Mayer says how our connections are permanent, how if you drift apart from someone there's always a chance you can be part of their life again. How everything comes back around again.”

“You can't truly appreciate the top if you've never hit rock bottom.”

“When you climb a mountain, look to the top and not to the rocks that surround you. Make sure of where you step as you climb, and do not leap, in case you loose your footing.”

“You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top; you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.”
