Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
That's what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream, with very strong archetypes operating. You know, the guilty girl being pursued, falling, all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.
