Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing!
“Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger in the long run is no safer than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” – Helen Keller

They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them and they flew.
– Guillaume Apollinaire
