1 " I believe this. When we meet those we fall in love with, there is an aspect of our spirit that is historian, a bit of a pedant who reminisces or remembers a meeting when the other has passed by innocently…but all parts of the body must be ready for the other, all atoms must jump in one direction for desire to occur. "
― Michael Ondaatje , The English Patient
2 " I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift. "

3 " You'd think, 'What if I make a mistake today, I'll regret it'. I don’t believe in regret, I feel everything leads us to where we are and we have to just jump forward, mean well, commit and just see what happens. "
― Angelina Jolie
4 " Those who don't jump will never fly. "
― Leena Ahmad Almashat , Harmony Letters
5 " I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this. "
― Deb Caletti , Stay
6 " If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: " It's gonna go wrong." Or " She's going to hurt me." Or," I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ." Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down. "
7 " You've got this life and while you've got it, you'd better kiss like you only have one moment, try to hold someone's hand like you will never get another chance to, look into people's eyes like they're the last you'll ever see, watch someone sleeping like there's no time left, jump if you feel like jumping, run if you feel like running, play music in your head when there is none, and eat cake like it's the only one left in the world! "
― C. JoyBell C.
8 " There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies. "
― Robert Frost
9 " Sometimes you can see things happen right in front of your eyes and still jump to the wrong conclusions. "
― Jodi Picoult , Keeping Faith
10 " First you jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down. "
― Ray Bradbury
11 " Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down. "
12 " I have lightning and wind powers," Jason reminded him. " Piper can turn beautiful and charm people into giving her BMWs. You're no more a freak than we are. And, hey, maybe you can fly, too. Like jump off a building and yell 'Flame on!'" Leo snorted. " If I did that, you would see a flaming kid falling to his death, and I would be yelling something a little stronger than 'Flame on! "
13 " My muscles informed me they did not want to go through any more exercise today. So I suggest that maybe he should let me off this time. He laughed, and I'm pretty sure it was at me...not with me. " Why is that funny?" " Oh," he said, his smile dropping. " You were serious." " Of course I was! Look, I've technically been awake for two days. Why do we have to start this training now? Let me go to bed." I whined. " It's just one hour." " How do you feel right now?" " I hurt like hell." " You'll feel worse tomorrow." " So?" " So, better get a jump on it while you still feel...not as bad." " What kind of logic is that?" I retorted. "
14 " It is very useful, when one is young, to learn the difference between " literally" and " figuratively." If something happens literally, it actually happens; if something happens figuratively, it feels like it is happening. If you are literally jumping for joy, for instance, it means you are leaping in the air because you are very happy. If you are figuratively jumping for joy, it means you are so happy that you could jump for joy, but are saving your energy for other matters. "
15 " They say: Think twice before you jump. I say: Jump first and then think as much as you want! "
― Osho , Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously
16 " How do you feel right now?" " I hurt like hell." " You'll feel worse tomorrow." " So?" " So, better get a jump on this while you still feel...not as bad." " What kind of logic is that?" I retorted. "
17 " Alanna: All I know is that I'm to jump when I'm told and I have no free time. "
― Tamora Pierce , Alanna: The First Adventure (Song of the Lioness, #1)
18 " Call it " a wonder" or " a mystery" and you have an excuse to never try understanding it - an excuse to not take responsibility for it. People knew about love no more than they knew about Science, but at least most did not jump into Science headstrong, with the hope that they would figure it out as they went, or that some " mysterious" inborn trait would take care of it. "
19 " When something is dirty you wash it. That's what my mum always said.Yet...When you have dirty money and you launder it, people jump up and down.I guess that's life. "
20 " Sometimes the fastest way down is to jump off a cliff. "
