“The fears we cannot climb become our walls.”

“The Scarecrow watched the Woodman while he worked and said to him "I cannot think why this wall is here nor what it is made of." "Rest you brains and do not worry about the wall," replied the Woodman, "when we have climbed over it we shall know what is on the other side.”

“Our prayers can go where we cannot...there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.”

“We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parents/children/teachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if it’s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.”

“We cannot abandon this rabbit hole for fear of a traumatic encounter with our own culture.”

“Other crack teams get bat boomerangs and wall-climbing powers; we get Aquatruck.”
