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

First you jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down.

Stand at the top of a cliff and jump off and build your wings on the way down.

First you jump off the cliff and you build wings on the way down. RAY BRADBURY Prolific American author of science fiction and fantasy

Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.

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

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

But the thing about rising is we have to continue upward; the thing about going beyond is we have to keep going.

"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."

We may scale cliffs; but to tramp forever in the mud is another thing.

We have to be thrown off balance to find our footing. It’s better to jump than fall. And here I am.

Sometimes you need to go up...to go down.

make your last journey
from this strange world
soar for the heights
where there is no more
separation of you and your home

God has created
your wings not to be dormant
as long as you are alive
you must try more and more
to use your wings to show you're alive

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.
