“You must be grounded to take flight.”

“As the leaf takes its time finding the ground so must I.”

“From my book "Lobisón"..."When the beast confronts you...you must stare it in the eyes...hold your ground...and take-it-down."Jackson Keller, Lobisón's protagonist.”

“One must indeed be ignorant of the methods of genius to suppose that it allows itself to be cramped by forms. Forms are for mediocrity, and it is fortunate that mediocrity can act only according to routine. Ability takes its flight unhindered.”

“Sometimes love needed a lift from its guardian angels, to get its feet off the ground. But once it made its first early beats toward flight, it had to be trusted to take wing on its own and soar past the highest conceivable heights, into the heavens-and beyond.”

“Books allow you to take flight, unlike the chicken wings I stapled to my back before eating them.”
