Peaceful Warrior

Socrates: I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles
we fight are on the inside
Dan Millman: The journey is what brings us happiness not
the destination
Dan Millman: The ones who are hardest to love are usually
the ones who need it the most.

The Illusionist

Eisenheim: i thought we might end this evening with a discussion
of the soul. All of the greatest religions speak of the soul’s
endurance before the end of life. So what then does it mean to die?
Eisenheim: From the moment we enter this live we are in the flow of it. We measure it and We mock it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass to quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?

American History X

Danny Vinyard: So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned
- my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too
short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's
always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already
said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong.
So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends.
We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must
not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will
swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Own only what you can carry with you; know language,
know countries, know
people. Let your memory be
your travel bag.

Ingrid Bengi

For me, words are a form of action, capable of
influencing change.

Edward Cole Bucket List

Here's something to remember when you're older
Thomas - never pass up a bathroom, never waste a
hard-on, and never trust a fart.

Bucket List - Edward Cole

You measure yourself by the people who measure
themselves by you.

Albert Schweitzer

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame
by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those
people who rekindle the inner spirit.
