“The restless spirit never loses its wings. If sometimes it cannot fly, it is because during those moments the sky vanishes.”

“For thought is a bird of space, that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly.”

“And in that moment, I felt my own ignorance spread suddenly out behind me like a pair of wings, and every single thing I didn’t know was a feather on those wings. I could feel them tugging at the air, restless to be airborne.”

“Sometimes I fly like an eagle but with the wings of a wren”

“Once a bird had lost his ability to fly, not much else could be done in the way of mending him. Losing a wing was a little like losing a leg and the freedom of movement, of spirit, it granted you; most people could live without the former but not the latter.”

“A plan won’t fly without dedication, perseverance, or wings. A plane won’t fly without those things either, though of those three things, wings are the most unnecessary.”
