Broken Pieces

"There this idea that we all have our broken pieces. What frightens and exhilarates and inspires us, are close together. Those feelings are what drives us to risk, in life and in love. Everybody’s broken in some way. " - Bruce Springsteen, Western Stars

All Those Empty Calories

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." – Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)

Non Verba

"Life can be so much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call 'life' was made up by people who were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use." - Steve Jobs

Inefficiency Multipliers

“It's easy to confuse 'what is' with 'what ought to be,' especially when 'what is' has worked out in your favor." - Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones

Owning The Narrative

"Buy the ticket, take the ride" – Hunter S. Thompson

What You Leave Behind

"I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different." - Kurt Vonnegut

The Arena

"Strength and honor." - Maximus, Gladiator

Nesting Dolls

"A grownup is a child with layers on" - Woody Harrelson

Forty Three Percent

"That rug really tied the room together, did it not?" — Walter Sobchak, The Big Lebowski

Token Reminders

"That way when you look at your totem, you know beyond a doubt you're not in someone else's dream." - Arthur, Inception
