“I have flown and fallen, and I have swum deep and drowned, but there should be more to love than "I survived it.”
“I could not have climbed any mountains while looking from the ground... I would not have flown... or dived... or surfed... or swum... I am not a tourist nor a spectator... this is the life I have left, and I will not waste it like some rubber-neck”
“There should be more to love," said the earth, "than 'it did not kill me.' More than 'I survived it.”
“We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.”
“Love is love. I have never fallen in love with a gender. I have fallen for individuals.”
“I have always believed in the principle that immediate survival is more important than long-term survival.”
