“To fly we have to have resistance. ”

“The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

“Do we have to stare death in the face to make us stand up and confront Resistance?”

“Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember our rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it. Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of Resistance. Therefore the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul. That's why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there'd be no Resistance.”

“Those you love will not drown or burn. They will fly away.' ...'Now we both have people we love who are like birds. They have flown far from anything in this world that can hurt them. They're flying away still.”

“Alex resisted the urge to throw Seb off the balcony and see if he could fly.”
