Trust me, it's paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed. For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it.

"There's nothing in the world like being young and in love. It gives you the power to do things you would never have had the courage to do otherwise. It inspires you to make yourself vulnerable, put your heart on the line...To give more than you can give. To speak heart-felt sentiments you thought only existed in old books and flowery poetry. And it can make you forget everything except love itself. That one thing that makes life worth living. The object of your affection...Inspired by love, we can move mountains, make great changes, do great things. But we can also become so blinded by it that we forget everything, everyone. Even ourselves."
"Regard without ill-will despite an offense." That's Webster's definition of forgiveness.
Why do I have to forgive?
So you can get on with your life.
It don't matter what you tried to do, you couldn't destroy me! I'm still standing! I'm still strong! And I always will be

"It's like you go to the beach. You go down to the water. It's a little cold. You're not sure you want to go in. There's a pretty girl standing next to you. She doesn't want to go in either. She sees you, and you know that if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with, and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember. Not every day, every week... she comes back to you. It's the memory of another life you could have had. Today is that girl."
"To hide your feelings about the ones you love is to put your light out. There can be only darkness without this light"
"There really are only three things that are 100% true in life. You can change your entire existence at any moment, there is nothing more beautiful than a sunrise in the mountains, and the love of a good woman has no equal"
The last one is from a guy i lived with and skiied with for year during a ski bum phase. Guy had life figured out."Si Ventus Non Est, Remiga."
" If there is no wind, row."

nevermind..i got it..
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

A good man draws a circle around him, and in it he cares for his family, his wife and children. A great man draws a larger circle including his brothers, his friends, and protects them as he would his family. But then there is the rare man who has a special destiny. His circle extends beyond boundaries to include the world of innocents who lack the will to defend themselves.

I've been put on this earth to do a certain number of things. At this rate I will never die

But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

"Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes."
"When there is mutual fear, men think twice before they make aggression upon one another."
"He serves me most, who serves his country best."
"I do not have much time for exhortation, but to the brave a few words are as good as many..." - Pericles
"A coward's mother does not weep."
"Although the snake dreams of soaring through the sky, he is forever doomed to crawl on his belly. You'll have your chance to fly, snake. In the talons of a hawk..."
"There is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping you and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there."
"There once was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he didn't really care for. The cat wasn't afraid to die. One day the cat became a stray cat, which meant he was free. He met a white female cat, and the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed, and the white cat grew weak and died of old age. The tiger striped cat cried a million times, and then died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life."
"I should say I'm very much cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It's only a doll's house after all. Anyway, I don't mind. I like dolls. Especially the live ones."
"Who cares for you?
You're nothing but a
pack of cards..."I am part of a Degenerate Elite.
Everyone grows up being told the same thing. Be nice to other people. But beat out the competition! "You're special." "Believe in yourself and you will succeed." But it's obvious from the start that only a few can succeed...

This speech gives me chills every time I read it
Peace with Inches
-Al Pacino
I don?t know what to say, really...
3 minutes...to the biggest battle of our professional lives...all comes down to today...
Either, we heal, as a team, or we're gonna crumble...inch by inch, play by play...till we're finished, we're in hell right now, gentlemen...believe me...
and...we can stay here, get the **** kicked out of us...or... we can fight our way back...into the light...we can climb outta hell...one inch at a time...now, I can?t do it for you...I?m too old...I look around, I see this young faces, and I think...I mean, I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make...I...eh...I pissed away all my money, believe it or not...I chased off anyone's who's ever loved me...and lately, I can?t even stand the face I see in the mirror...you know, when you get old in life, things get taken from you...well that?s....that?s part of life...but, you only learn that, when you start losing stuff...you find out, life's a game of inches...so is football...because, in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small, I mean, one half a step too late, or too early, and you don?t quite make it, one half second too slow, too fast, you don?t quite catch it, the inches we need are everywhere around us... they're in every break of the game, every minute, every second....on this team, we fight for that inch... on this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us, to pieces for that inch...we claw with our fingernails for that inch...because we know, when we head up all those inches, that?s gonna make the ****ing difference, between winning and losing!
Between living and dying!! I'll tell you this: in any fight, it?s the guy who's willing to die, who?s gonna win that inch...and I know, if I?m gonna have any life anymore...It?s because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch...because, that?s what living is! The six inches in front of your face...!! Now, I can?t make you do it, you gotta look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes! now, I think you're going to see a guy, who will go that inch with you...You're gonna see a guy, who will sacrifice himself, for this team, because he knows, when it comes down to it, you're going to do the same for him... That?s a team, gentlemen...and, either we heal, NOW, as a team, or we will die...as individuals...that?s football, guys...that?s all it is...now, what are you gonna do?"People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the ****ing lot."

“When the light comes down, and the earth shakes with the footsteps of a thousand battalions, when the air sings with the sound of clashing shields, and the ground is wet with the blood of men, that is when I am most alive. That is when my life is taken to the edge of the point, that is when I am invincible until the moment of death”
