Tuesdays with Morrie
Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle"
Sounds like a wrestling match, student said
"A wrestling match" Prof. Moorie laughed and said "Yes you could describe life that way"
So which side wins, student asked?
"Which side wins?"
Moorie smiles back at him, with the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth..
"Love wins. Love always wins."
Shawshak redemption
"some birds are not made just meant to be caged..their feathers are just too bright..and when they fly away....the part of your body that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice....but still the place where you live in is that much drab and empty that they are gone...."
" Hope is a good thing, may be the best of the things and no good thing ever dies...."
"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it is the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."
The Pursuit of Happiness!
Christopher Gardner: It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?
