“You step onto the road and if you don’t keep your feet, then there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

“Keep working. Keep trying. Keep believing. You still might not make it, but at least you gave it your best shot. If you don’t have calluses on your soul, this isn’t for you. Take up knitting instead.”

“Keep your dreams, you never know when you might need them.”

“While nobody might recognise the importance of what you have done, you need to keep your confidence. It is difficult to be alone in working toward something and yet not know where it will take you…”

“You are always in my thoughts. When you were little, I knew your whereabouts at any given moment. Now that you are… off on your own, I still always know where you are, because I keep you in my heart.”

“O Polly, you might have toyed and kissed,
By keeping men off, you keep them on.”

“You might have one thing in your head, but the things you’re doing don’t really lead down the right road, necessarily. When you’re young, you don’t want to hear that. You think you can do everything, be all things.”

“You are a shithead, Williamson. If you can't think on your feet you oughta keep your mouth shut.”

“If you are facing a difficult task don’t put it off. If you do it will just keep tormenting you.”

“I will get back on my feet even if I am knocked down’. For that, you need to know what all might knock you down and where would you fall.”
