*Should you be walking some years from now, on a beautiful spring day, and feel a warm breeze graze your cheek... that warm breeze will be me, giving you a kiss.* -- The Majestic

*To me, it's really so simple. That life should be lived on the edge. You have to excercise rebellion.

Then you will live your life on a tightrope.* -- Man on a Wire

If you get hurt, you'll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try, because if you haven't tried... you haven't lived.* -- Meet Joe Black

I had a lot of dreams, and I guess you could call me a real romantic, because I truly believed that one day, it may come true. So I dreamed about it for hours, and as the years went by, I learned to stop sharing with people. They said I was dreaming, but back then I believed it whole-heartedly.

But one day... they'd all see.* -- Monster

*When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written, "he dies." That's all... nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is, "he dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with, "he dies," and yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words, "he dies," but because of the life we saw prior to the words. I've lived all five of my acts... and I'm not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that yo turn the page - continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest, "he died."* -- Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

And you realize hat that person is the only person you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift... and you wanna laugh, and you wanna cry...

'What if I had said something?'... what if, what if, what if? It may only happen a few times in your life.* -- Out of Sight


"P"

*All of life is a coming home. Salesmen, secretaries, coal miners, beekeepers, sword swallowers... all of us. All the restless hearts in the world, all trying to find a way home. It's hard to describe what I felt like then. Picture yourself walking for days in the driving snow - you don't even know you're walking in circles. The heaviness of your legs in the drifts, your shouts disappearing into the wind. How small you can feel... and how far away home can be.* -- Patch Adams

*Home. The dictionary defines it as both a place of origin and a goal of destination. And the storm? The storm was all in my mind.

Eventually I would find the right path, but in the most unlikely place.* -- Patch Adams

You treat a person, I guarantee you win, no matter what the outcome.* -- Patch Adams

*I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities of pride. I love you because I know no other way than this. So close, that your hand on my chest, is my hand. So close that when you close your eyes... I fall asleep.* -- Patch Adams

*The most important thing I can add from my own observations is this; Knowing it started from unremarkable circumstances should be a comfort to us all. Because it proves that you don't need much to change the entire world for the better. You can start with the most ordinary ingredients. You can start with what you've got.* -- Pay it Forward
