“I have been to the edge and lived to tell the tale..”

“What they don't know is that I went over the edge years ago, and lived to tell the tale.”

“Only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all.”

“Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale.”

“Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully. My journey to the past had changed nothing, but what I had learned had changed everything, and I understood that it could not have been otherwise. If our lives are tales that Allah tells, then we are the audience as well as the players, and it is by living these tales that we receive their lessons.”

“Curiosity will not cause us to die, only lack of it will. For only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all.”
