Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
You never know what motivates you.
Always desire to learn something useful.
After a storm comes a calm.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
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.
