It wasn't as if she was terrified of heights, she simply preferred to be closer to solid ground, where words like plummet and plunge did not linger in her mind.

About This Quote

Alexandra turned to her friend and said: "I don't like heights." Her friend, who was watching the view from an airplane window, said: "But you're not afraid of heights, you just prefer to be closer to solid ground, where words like plummet and plunge do not linger in your mind." In other words, you're not afraid of heights, you just prefer to be closer to the solid earth. "You don't have to be afraid of being up high," Alexandra's friend explained, "It's a different situation if you're stuck between two cliffs with a hungry lion on one side and a cliff on the other."
