{"quotes":[{"text":"There is a trick to flying. The angels told me.' He had smiled at my wide-eyed awe. 'You need to forget everything you know as a human being. When you are human, you discover that there is great power in hating the earth. And it can almost make you fly. But it never will.'I had frowned, not quite understanding him. 'So, what's the trick?'Love the sky.","author":"Anne Fortier","tags":["flying","hope","inspirational"],"id":1586,"author_id":"Anne+Fortier"},{"text":"Forgiveness is the subjective and fertile ground the acorn falls upon when gifted to ourselves and others.","author":"Gillian Duce","tags":["betrayal","better","better-life","betterment","duce","enlightenment","enlightenment","fear","fearless","flying","forever","forgive","forgiveness","forgiveness","gift","gift-of-life","gifts","gillian","growing-up","growth","guidance","guidance","guide","hell","help","inspirational","inspirational-life","inspirational","leadership","learning","life","life-lessons","life","love","love","madell","spiritual","spiritual-growth","spirituality"],"id":2838,"author_id":"Gillian+Duce"},{"text":"We could definitely make a flying car - but that's not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet?

Free fall. Free. With nothing around you, just a parachute on your back. And you go down. But you don't feel like you're going down. Total freedom.","author":"Yves Rossy","tags":["flying","free","fall "],"id":6540,"author_id":"Yves+Rossy"},{"text":"God and Destiny are not against us, rather they are for us, they are the ones who never forget the things we have long forgotten, the ones who hear the desires of our heart that our own heads can't hear, and they are the ones who never forget who we really are, long after our minds have forgotten the images of who we are. We come from God and we belong to Destiny, yet for some reason of ignorance we think that to be the master of our own fates and the captain of our own souls means to write everything down on a paper and plan everything out on a grid! Such great things to be done, and we think they are accomplished by our primitive ways! No. We must only know what we want. And want what we want. And then fly high enough to see all that which we want that we couldn't yet see.","author":"C.

Tucking my wings in, I aimed downward,diving toward the ground at more than two hundred miles an hour.“No you dooonnn’t!” Fang’s voice spiraled away into nothingness, far aboveme.Inside my head, almost drowned out by the roar of wind rushing by my ears, Iheard the Voice make a tsking sound.
