QUOTE: EXCUSES

“No one has ever, ever paid admission to see an excuse. No one has ever faced a black screen that says: "Well, if we had these set of circumstances, we would've shot this scene... so please forgive us and use your imagination." I've been to the movies hundreds of times. That's never occurred.”

– Mark Borchardt [ American Movie, 1999]

QUOTE: SUCCESS

"Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure." - Confucius

QUOTE: THE HERO'S JOURNEY

"The usual hero adventure begins with someone from whom something has been taken, or who feels there is something lacking in the normal experience available or permitted to the members of society. The person then takes off on a series of adventures beyond the ordinary, either to recover what has been lost or to discover some life-giving elixir. It’s usually a cycle, a coming and a returning.” ~ Joseph Campbell
