Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

I might not be the same, but that's not important. No freedom 'til we're equal - damn right I support it

If someone believed me they would be as in love with you as I am

you’ll be given love
you’ll be taken care of
you’ll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

twist your head around
it’s all around you
all is full of love
all around you

Live through this, and you won’t look back. There’s one thing I want to say, so I’ll be brave: you were what I wanted, I gave what I gave. I’m not sorry I met you. I’m not sorry it’s over. I’m not sorry there’s nothing to save.

When there is nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.

Sorry is not just a word, it’s a deed. It is an act.

Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? And instead of saying all of your goodbyes let them know you realize that life goes fast. It's hard to make the good things last.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky, but why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?

Morgan, you and I became friends working together on the Shawshank Redemption, for which you were nominated for an Academy Award. The film follows a trajectory of a friendship, and that friendship was easily mirrored in real life on the set. I'll never forget what you said to me about friendship on the last day of shooting, "Being a friend is getting the other a cup of coffee. Can you do that for me Ted?"

I was in such a state of deprivation—physical and emotional. When I got home, I couldn’t react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed."

Art washes from the soul the dust of every day life.

Ideas are meaningless without action. Everyone has ideas. To succeed, make your ideas real. Make them happen. Everything else you will learn along the way. Be awesome.

I’m not here to sell things. That’s what other people do, I’m creating them. If it doesn’t work out, I’m sorry; I’m just doing what I do. You hired me to do what I do, not what you do. As long as people don’t tell me what to do, there will be no problem.

Too many decisions to make with no sign of what to do.

He is fundamentally analog, despite the occasional electronic excesses in his music. He likes amps with knobs that go to 12 and things that click when you touch them.

For whatever you’re doing, for your creative juices, your geography’s got a hell of a lot to do with it. You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.

We're just a bunch of dirtbag players and we just go out and play hard and it's not flashy by any means...There's nothing special about our team other than the fact that we play hard and we just grind it out. And maybe that's why people don't like us because we don't have anything special. And when we do do things special, I think it pisses people off. [partialquote]
