If you don't like what you're doing, then don't do it.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.

If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.

Jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.
