There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
One of these is roots, the other, wings.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begins our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.

Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious
Budding wings.
— Hafez, Persian Poet
Our wings may be small, but then again, so are we.
— Regina Sirois, On little wings
When I am brave enough to say goodbye,
I´ll use the wings you gave me and away I´ll fly.
― Celia McMahon
I want to lose myself in the music,
give my soul to art,
forget that I have a name
and become the kind of beautiful
that is only found in the heart.
— Christy Ann Martine

― Belle and Sebastian
