Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Who seeks shall find.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Know or listen to those who know.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
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.
