“On one side, the mass of a mountain. A life I know.On the other, the universe of the clouds, so full of unknown that it seems empty to us. Too much space.”

“When the towers again twin-tickle the clouds, I offer to walk again, to be the expression of the builder's collective voice. Together, we will rejoice in an aerial song of victory. I will carry my life across the wire, as your life, as all our lives, past, present, and future -the lives lost, the lives welcomed since.we can overcome.”

“It cannot be done all at once. To overpower vertigo - the keeper of the abyss- one must tame it, cautiously.”

“The essential thing is to etch movements in the sky, movements so still they leave no trace. The essential thing is simplicity. / That is why the long path to perfection is horizontal.”

“When I see three oranges, I juggle; when I see two towers, I walk!”

“I know it's impossible. But I know I'll do it!”

“My destiny no longer has me conquering the highest toowers in the world, but rather the void they protect.This cannot be measured.”
