The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Well done is better than well said.
After a storm comes a calm.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
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.
