Vive per montare, Montare per vive.
Sometimes they try to warn you, as if it had never occurred to you while you negotiated city streets with kamikaze taxis hurtling themselves towards any raised hand, or with the landscape reeling past your visor at seventy miles an hour and the concrete inches under your boots. As if it would take someone who had never done it to tell you what you were doing.
But the gravest problem is that I don't lose my nerve before I jump. Hell, I don't feel I have a problem. I have a situation. I don't have any problems in life, just situations. I'm positive I can jump the Grand Canyon because I'm a firm believer in the fact that any idea that a man can honestly conceive and honestly believe, if he wants to do the thing really bad enough, he can do it.
I don't care if they say, "Look, kid, you're going to drive that thing off the edge of the Canyon and die," I'm going to do it. I want to be the first.
...I want to do something that's never been done before...I believe we were born dead. I did not ask to be put here on earth. I have accepted that dying is a part of living...I want to do this thing because I want to do this thing. I don't know if it's going to make a worthwhile contribution to society or transportation, but I'm going to do it.

If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.
Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.
A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans...
