You never forget. It must be somewhere inside you. Even if the brain has forgotten, perhaps the teeth remember. Or the fingers.
Always worth it to have tried, even if you fail, even if you fall like a meteor forever. Better to have flamed in the darkness, to have inspired others, to have lived, than to have sat in the darkness, cursing the people who borrowed, but did not return, your candle.
If he didn’t care about you, you couldn’t upset him.
People who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
You can’t trust other people. If it’s important, you have to do it yourself.
I’ll find you. Don’t worry. Just be on your own and I’ll find you.
You can’t trust other people. If it’s important, you have to do it yourself.
People who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.
You're alive, Bod. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything. If you can change the world, the world will change. Potential. Once you're dead, it's gone. Over. You've made what you've made, dreamed your dream, written your name. You may be buried…
If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.
Face your life, its pain, its pleasure, leave no path untaken.
It's like the people who believe they'll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, but who learn it doesn't work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.
Fear is contagious. You can catch it. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to say that they're scared for the fear to become real.

Tonight we shall take our bad feelings and share them, and face them. We shall mourn. We shall drain the bitter dregs of mortality. Pain shared, my brother, is pain not doubled, but halved. No man is an island.
Everybody going to be dead one day, just give them time.
