"Footfalls echo in the memory, down the passage we did not take, towards the door we never opened, into the rose garden."
― T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

-Emily Dickinson

"You see here, kid? You gotta just go for it; don't think about what comes after or what came before. You just gotta bend your knees, take a deep breath, and jump. And you might think, 'What if I fall?' Well, what if you don't? What if you fly?"

I love it so much I put it in my bio. Nobody seems to know where it's from either. It's just a random sample that I came across while listening to lofi. It resonates a lot with me.

There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask, "What if I fall?"
Oh, but my darling,
What if you fly?
