“I should throw you off this building minus the flying horse and see how heroic you sound on the way down.”

“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse… but surely you will see the wildness!”

“I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks
and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?”

“They may build, but I will throw down;
They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness,...”

“Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down.”

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

“A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said — "Now listen, Jack…"
"Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top."”

“It is better to ride a pony than a horse which throws you.”

“Villain, a horse--
Villain, I say, give me a horse to fly,
To swim the river, villain, and to fly.”

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