“I don't get it,' Caroline said, bemused. 'She's the only one with wings. Why is that?'There were so many questions in life. You couldn't ever have all the answers. But I knew this one.It's so she can fly,' I said. Then I started to run.”
“Why? But why don't we have feathers? Or Wings? Nothing but the shoulder blades where wings would be attached? Why, because we no longer need wings. We've got aeros. Wings would only be in the way. Wings are for flying, but we have nowhere to fly to, we've already flown there, we've found it.”
“Alis volat propiss. (She flies with her own wings.)”
“You've a soul for a compass, and a heart for a pair of wings...Why walk when you can fly?”
“Alis volat propriss. It's Latin, it means: 'She flies with her own wings'.”
