Nothing is original

My long lost school friend who is now an upcoming film maker posted this quote from an American Film Director - James Robert Jarmusch (Jim) on her Facebook wall.

I couldn't help but get inspired. The words just stirred my soul. Simple and impactful. Originality of course deserves all the reverence and respect. However, a beautiful thing shared is perhaps as good if not greater than a beautiful thing created! So here goes...

Words that inspire me!

"A promise is a promise..." - Ratan Tata... while unveling NANO!! wat a man!!

"At the end of the game, both the king and the pawn go back into the same box.." - Being Cyrus

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen" - Winston Churchill

"When we think we know all the answers, life comes and changes all the questions."

"Those who think they know everything...annoy those of us who do!!"

"Treat each day as your last one... 1 day you'll be right!!"

"If you have to emphasise the importance of something, then it probably isn't that important in the first place..." - the 3 mistakes of my life (Chetan Bhagat)

"Admiration fades... Love endures!!"

"The loudest one in the room, is the weakest one in the room." - Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) in American Gangster

"greed, for lack of a better word, is good". - Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in Wall Street

"Stop going for the easy buck and start producing something with your life. Create, instead of living off the buying and selling of others". Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) in Wall Street

"If your enemy is superior, evade him. If angry, irritate him. If equally matched, fight, and if not split and reevaluate."

"Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss."

"Greed captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."

“All our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone who makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope... all the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect... who might be searching for us.” - Wonder Years

“Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come. The thing is, we didn't have to hate each other for getting older. We just had to forgive ourselves... for growing up." - Wonder Years

“I guess sometimes the ground can shift between your feet. Sometimes your footing slips. You stumble. And sometimes you grab what's close to you and hold on as tight as you can.” - Wonder Years

“Over the course of the average lifetime
you meet a lot of people. Some of them
stick with you through thick and thin.
Some weave their way through your life
and disappear forever. But once in a
while someone comes along who earns a
permanent place in your heart” - Wonder Years

“Change is never easy. You fight to hold on. You fight to let go.” - Wonder Years

"Its the choices that make us who we are,
and we can always choose to do what's right" - Spider Man 3

"Never wound what you can't kill" - Spider Man 3

"Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious do not live at all!!!"
