“Books fall open, you fall in. When you climb out again, you're a bit larger than you used to be.”

“You know, when you're young, God sweeps you up. He holds you there. The real snag is to stay there and to know how to fall. All those days when you can't hold on any longer. When you tumble. The test is being able to climb up again.”

“Hold a place for the human race
Keep it open wide
Give it time to fall or climb
But let the time decide
Sometimes you wonder what's in this for you
But you wait and you see'
Cause its all you can do
Just to hold on
Hold on hold out, hold on”

Jackson Browne (1948) American singer-songwriter

So, for at least, until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again”
