STYLE AND LANGUAGE
Twice read sentences
I want to fly where no seagull has flew before. I want to know what there is to know about life!
Heaven isn't a place; heaven is perfection
Perfect speed isn't moving fast at all; perfect speed is being there
To fly as fast as thought to anywhere… you begin by knowing that you have already arrived...
The gull sees farthest who files highest
