Not all those who wander are lost

Perfection is not just about control. It’s also about letting go. Surprise yourself so you can surprise the audience. Transcendence!

Thomas Leroy, Black Swan (2010)

The truth, Helen, is always the right answer

Amon Goeth - Schindler’s List (1993)

Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge - and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope.

Philippe Petit - Man on Wire (2008)

When in love, there is little difference between life and death
we live by looking at the infidel who we are willing to die for

Ghalib Mirza - A Thousand Desires Such

Bought everything that sounded good
I understand that I’ve been misunderstood

Chris Cornell, Until We fall

For mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven’t tried before. So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It’s probably worth it.

Richard, The Beach (2000)

At the temple, there is a poem called “Loss” carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read Loss, only feel it

Sayuri, Memoirs of Geisha (2005)

The first step is in your head. So don’t think about it, buy a flight ticket tomorrow and then worry about it on the plane. This is the hardest step.

Ian Wright

When you love a city and have explored it frequently on foot, your body, not to mention your soul, gets to know the streets so well after a number of years that in a fit of melancholy, perhaps stirred by a light snow falling ever so sorrowfully, you’ll discover your legs carrying you of their own accord toward one of your favourite promontories

My name is Red, Orhan Pamuk

Ultimately, we’re all dead men. Sadly, we cannot choose how but, what we can decide is how we meet that end, in order that we are remembered, as men.

Proximo, Gladiator 2000
