After a storm comes a calm.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Who seeks shall find.
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.
