If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Well done is better than well said.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
After a storm comes a calm.
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.
