Birds have wings they're free they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

Ray Bradbury

Alcee Hastings
