Challenges
For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you're not going to be very happy. If someone bases his [or her] happiness on major events like a great job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
- Andy Rooney
To know how to live is my trade and my art.
Movie Quotes
And that was it. Right there. Right there. That was the moment. I suddenly realized that unless something changed soon ...And so I made a major decision ... I decided to take control of my life.
- Bridget Jones's Diary (movie)
Never in my life did I think I would end up in such a beautiful place ...doing so many incr.edible things. So, I'm sorry if I was a little too honest with you. But I wasted too much of my life being quiet. I was afraid, I guess. You know how it is. You keep your head down and you hustle and hustle. Then you look up one day and wonder, “How did I even get here?” Huh, bro? See some of the things we care about a lot are pretty worthless.
- Last Holiday (movie quote)
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy sh@% we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.
- Fight Club (movie quote ...Tyler Durden)
