“The life of a child is about firsts. The life of a parent is about lasts.” ― T.J. Newman, Drowning
“Everyone dies. No one escapes it. It’s the only fair thing in the world. Sometimes you’re young, sometimes you’re old, sometimes you deserve it, sometimes you don’t.” ― T.J. Newman , Falling
“After all, a flight is just a random sample of the general population, a classic bell curve. A few assholes and a few exemplars, but primarily, a whole bunch of sheep.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“It was the same impulse that stopped them from saying the things they wanted to say, doing the things they wanted to do, being who they wanted to be. They’d do it tomorrow. Next time. Later. And now, too late, they realized that tomorrow had never been a guarantee.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“that was all life was. Shifting the balance, every day, to make room for joy and grace in whatever circumstances you’ve got before your time runs out.” ― T.J. Newman, Drowning
“All I want is to see what a good man—a good American man—does when he’s in a no-win situation. What does a man like you do when he has to choose. A plane full of strangers? Or your family? See, Bill, it really is about the choice. You. Choosing who will survive. That is what I want.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“Strong women know loving someone is easy. Respecting them is a choice.” ― T.J. Newman, Drowning

“The truth that people are only as good as the world lets them be. You’re not inherently good and I’m not inherently bad. We’re just working through the cards life dealt us. So putting you in this position, dealing you these cards—what does a good guy do now? It’s not about the crash, Bill. It’s about the choice. It’s about good people seeing they’re no different from bad people.” He looked from Bill to Carrie. “You’ve just always had the luxury of choosing to be good.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“Ma’am, you’re taking a risk either way. But only one option ends with people dying.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“People didn’t dress like that anymore. It harkened back to a time when air travel was a rare privilege, a major event.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“People didn’t dress like that anymore. It harkened back to a time when air travel was a rare privilege, a major event. Purposefully unchanged, the uniform kept a certain antiquated mystique alive. It elicited respect. Trust. It proclaimed a sense of duty.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“Compartmentalization was the only way to remain in control during a crisis. Tackle the issue with logic and reason—deal with how you feel about it later. It’s a mindset drilled into every pilot from day one.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
“In my professional opinion,” Jasmine said, “what Molly’s trying to say is: ‘I wish a bitch would.’ ” ― T.J. Newman, Drowning

“Death always feels personal, Bill. It feels damn fucking personal. But you know what the crazy thing about death is? It’s not personal. Everyone dies. No one escapes it. It’s the only fair thing in the world. Sometimes you’re young, sometimes you’re old, sometimes you deserve it, sometimes you don’t. But what the fuck is that, anyway? Death doesn’t just happen to ‘bad’ people, death doesn’t give a shit.” ― T.J. Newman, Falling
