So the search for a father in Central Station is also a search for a country. ↗

I believe you can prove everyone wrong, too, Victoria. Your behavior is a choice; it isn't who you are. ↗

If only you knew who you really were you would be fearless and love yourself with a grand passion! You are a unique shard of God, the Universe, the whole or whatever label you would like to call it. No one can take your place and without you endless synchronicity and evolution would not happen. You are so powerful that just by walking down the street you can change someone's life forever. ↗

Someone put opera on, someone changed it to hip hop, thank God. Someone started a shower, someone vacuumed again. Life in all it's mundane majesty and you couldn't take advantage of it if you were sitting on your ass in the shadows whether it was actually or metaphorically because you were trapped in an attic's darkness. ↗

Any experience deeply felt makes some men better and some men worse. When it has ended, they share nothing but the recollection of a commitment in which each was tested and to some degree found wanting. [...] The consequences of the journey change the voyager so much more than the embarking or the arrival. ↗

It's not necessary to tell all you know... You're not gonna change any one of them by talkin' right. They've got to want to learn themselves, and when they don't want to learn there's nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language. ↗

Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I have never been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall. And, without love, I am sure I should be a fool to change such a situation as mine. ↗

When a sense of dissatisfaction persists, that means it was placed there by God for one purpose only: you need to change everything and move forward. ↗

Bruce decides to spend the family fortune on capes and crime labs and to fritter away his free time fighting crazy criminals. Now that's an out-of-the-box calling. What sort of person makes a life change like that without radical submission? Without that submission, without an understanding that there is something greater out there, the principles of the comic villain look far more reasonable. ↗

You took a life and the theft went unpunished. God didn't strike you down. The sky didn't fall. The morning after, you turned on the faucet and water still came out... It was still good when you raised your arm for a cab and one came towards you out of the flow like magic. You did things that were supposed to end you and found they were only things that changed you. It was a disappointment and a revelation and a bereavement and a new thrilling nudity. It was the basic prosaic obscenity: You kept going. ↗
