above the smallness

"i dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above the smallness of it all.  the smallness that i am.  against the daily death the iconography of wings."

-jeanette winterson, art and lies

to have wings

"the reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings."

-j.m. barrie, the little white bird

metal heart

"it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do

be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo

oh what cha trying to prove

hiding you're not worth a thing

sew your fortunes on a string

and hold them up to light

blue smoke will take

a very violent flight

and you will be changed

i once was lost but now i'm found was blind

but now i see you

how selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

metal heart you're not hiding

metal heart you're not worth a thing"

-from metal heart by cat power
