To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
I can, therefore I am.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you think you can do it, you can.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
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.
