-The Dead Poets Society
"You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Cuz anytime something bad happens to you, that's the one place you can escape to and just let it go. I learned it the hard way. And anyway, look at me. Nothing bad's gonna happen. You gotta have a little faith."
-August Rush
"Get wisdom: and with all they getting get understanding."
-Proverbs 4:7
"This above all else: to thine own self be true."
-Shakespeare (Polonius, Hamlet I:iii)
"I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do
The something that I can do."
-Edward Everett Hale
"You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars. "

"It wasn't only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp that other people are as real as you. And only in a story could you enter these different minds and show how they had an equal value. That was the only moral a story need have."
-Ian McEwan (Atonement)
"Don't be an actor. Be a human being who works off what exists under imaginary circumstances. Don't give a performance. Let the performance give you."
-Sanford Meisner
"Acting is a scary paradoxical business. One of its central paradoxes is that in order to succeed as an actor you have to lose consciousness of your own self in order to transform yourself into the character in the play. It's not easy, but it can be done."
-Sanford Meisner
