“That was the way things worked out: you got a certain fair share of good breaks from life, and you had no right to expect things your way every time.”

“Things had a way of working out for the best when you let them run their course.”

“Grandma said […] when you come on something that is good, first thing to do is share it with whoever you can find; that way, the good spreads out to where no telling it will go.”

“There is no greater thing you can do with your life and your work than follow your passions – in a way that serves the world and you.”

“Things will work out - maybe just not the way you plan”

“Things just happen in the right way, at the right time. At least when you let them, when you work with circumstances instead of saying, 'This isn't supposed to be happening this way,' and trying harder to make it happen some other way.”

“You convinced yourselves we're just a bunch of regular lads who got a bad break in life. Anything else would have cracked your dream open and made you face reality. Illusion is easy. Illusion is the loser's way out. Your way.”

“Certain things leave you in your life and certain things stay with you. And that's why we're all interested in movies- those ones that make you feel, you still think about. Because it gave you such an emotional response, it's actually part of your emotional make-up, in a way.”

“I notice me. I notice you too.
And there are simple things that we don't even try anymore. There's a way out of this.
Beat the time.
And every time I turn around
we got some clever way to put each other down.”

“… if you expect people to try to do things your way, you're going to have to give some hints as to what that way is.”
