Paula Gardner | 2 comments The following quote is claimed by Christopher Logue.
It is a quote from the French writer Apollinaire. Please correct the author. Thanks.

“Come to the edge.' 'We can't. We're afraid.' 'Come to the edge.' 'We can't. We will fall!' 'Come to the edge.' And they came. And he pushed them. And they flew.”
― Chrostopher Logue

Story of Choice (storyofchoice) | 14 comments Will someone please correct this?

The quote:
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1443...

is most likely a paraphrase of a much lengthier passage by Rand. It could be deleted, since it's a meme with no literary source. If it stays, it should be attributed to "Unknown" or "Anonymous".

Thank you!
