I can't remember, but I think it was in a movie, and I think it was referring to love/relationships. It went something like this:

"Love is like jumping off a cliff and hoping you can fly."

Does anyone know the exact wording and what it's from?

I found your answer using MSN Search. The quote is from The Wedding Planner starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez.

Damn, that stings :)

Are you sure though? I can't find the quote listed on IMDB

The quote doesn't show up much on the internet, but I'm nearly positive it's The Wedding Planner. I can't reproduce the search string I used to find it... and it wasn't exactly like what you said. "Jumping" was "leaping"...

But it may also be possible you're getting the gist of the quote from a line in Hitch...

Alex Hitch Hitchens: Because that's what people do. They leap, and hope to God they can fly, because otherwise. you just drop like a rock, wondering the whole way down, why in the *hell* did I jump? But here I am, Sarah, falling, and the only one that makes me feel like I can fly... is you.

a much more manly way to say it, courtesy of guy clark:

Cape

Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin? what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin? start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground

Chorus

He?s one of those who knows that life
Is just a leap of faith
Spread your arms and hold you breath
Always trust your cape

All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
He?s full of piss and vinegar
He?s bustin? at the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
It?s gonna be do or die
He wasn?t scared of nothin?, Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly

Chorus

Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
He?s still jumpin? off the garage
And will be till he?s dead
All these years the people said
He?s actin? like a kid
He did not know he couldn't fly
And so he did

Chorus

Yeah, but not quite as bad as The Wedding Planner. Your man card is safe for now :).

Marked for Death

[after killing one bad guy and another bad guy jumps out a window]

Max: Well?
John Hatcher: One thought he was invincible... the other thought he could fly.
Max: So?
John Hatcher: They were both wrong.
