It's always too early to quit.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Only the educated are free.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
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.
