I came across a quote attributed to Guillaume Apollinaire that really resonated with me today:
He said, “Come to the edge.”
I said, “I can’t; I’m afraid.”
He said, “Come to the edge.”
I said, “I can’t; I’ll fall off.”
He said, finally, “Come to the edge.”
And I came to the edge.
And he pushed me.
And I flew.
~ -Guillaume Apollinaire
