“There sure are a lot of stairs. Holy crap,will these things ever end?Seriously?MORE STAIRS?This is ridiculous.I'm never buying a house with stairs.I won't even steps to my front door,just a gradual incline.”

“I was thinking about a lot of things at that moment, really, and I mean a lot of things. Like the way squirrels in my front yard won't play with me. But more serious stuff too.”

“I froze, my hand on the wall, and listened. Someone was definitely upstairs. I reached into my pocket for my cell phone and took a step back toward the front door. I kept my eyes on the stairs and my hand on the cell phone. A light flashed across the hallway”

“I want to tell her that promises are as dangerous as secrets, but by then she's floating out the door. I hear her light footsteps on the stairs, and then the front door slams.”

“Leadership is when you take a step into the darkness even when you cant see the stairs”

“Even with my deepest soul I knew too well that all of these were just a stairs to heaven.”
