“Success is largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.”
“The stars were withdrawn, small, giving no light, unlike other nights when they seemed to hang large from the sky ready to be reached for and taken into our hands.”
“If I am good enough and quiet enough, perhaps after all they will let me go; but it’s not easy being quiet and good, it’s like hanging on to the edge of a bridge when you’ve already fallen over; you don’t seem to be moving, just dangling there, and yet it is taking all your strength.”
“What he was after hangs between the visible and the invisible, between the here and now and the seemingly elsewhere.”
“Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hang on too long.”
