It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
And it’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re at.
It’s not where you are, it’s where you’re going…
And it’s not about the things you’ve done, it’s what you’re doing now.
Everybody gets knocked down — how quick are you gonna get up?
c: No. We have to be strong.
What looks like a cloud to one person is a chance to sell umbrellas to the next.
The light of the truth can be harsh to those who’ve been in the dark.
If you don’t know how you got where you are, you probably weren’t watching where you were going.

“Wait a minute, Juanita. ...is it a virus, a drug, or a religion?”
Juanita shrugs. “What’s the difference?”
“Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
...>>“Idleness … does not consist in doing nothing, but in doing a great deal not recognized in the dogmatic formularies of the ruling class.”
You have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
“So we can believe the big ones?”
Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing.
“They’re not the same at all!”
“Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.”
Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anybody deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.
“To treat your facts with imagination is one thing, but to imagine your facts is another.”
