RE: movie/song line to live by
Mine would be:

We're wasting all our time and energy it seems,
to mend our broken hearts
like they were machines,
there aint a school around that can make us tight.


yeah, I don't know where all the good times went
had a pocket full of love now there aint nothin left but lint
handful of good times don't make it right.

Move on, there aint nothin' you can do about it,
come on, love is like a puzzle when the pieces don't fit
there aint nothin you can do about it.

Move on!

You gotta be you and I baby I got to be me and I don't wanna stay just because I don't wanna leave
I got one foot out the door and one foot, in my mouth.


We're always saying things that we don't really mean,
Like I love you and I'll be with you for all eternity,
We don't have that long to work this out.

Move on, there aint nothin' you can do about it,
come on! Love is like a puzzle when the pieces don't fit
there aint nothin you can do about it.

I tried to find the answers and I've read all the books,
watched all the daytime shows, sometimes we're the victims, sometimes we're the crust,

That's just the way it goes..

Move on!!

(long guitar solo)

Move on, there aint nothin' you can do about it,
come on! Love is like a puzzle when the pieces don't fit
there aint nothin you can do but move, Move on! Yeah, there aint nothin' you can do about it,
come on, love is like a puzzle when the pieces don't fit
there aint nothin' you can do about it.

Move on! Move on! Just move on!

RE: movie/song line to live by
And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down, you can take it.
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry, you can take it.

Hold your head up, hold your head up,
Hold your head up, hold your head high.

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving.
And if they shout
Don't let them change a thing what you're doing.

Hold your head up, hold your head up,
Hold your head up, hold your head high.

RE: movie/song line to live by
Let me drink from the waters where the moutain streams flood
Let the smell of wildflowers flow free through my blood
Let me sleep in your meadows with the green grassy leaves
Let me walk down the highway with my brother in peace
Let me die in my footsteps
Before I go down under the ground.

Go out in your country where the land meets the sun
See the crater and the canyons where the waterfalls run
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep in your souls
And you'll die in your footsteps
Before you go down under the ground

RE: movie/song line to live by
One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a
reluctant enthusiast. . . a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save
the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. . .
while you still can, while it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness . . . that lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards.

RE: movie/song line to live by
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
and when you have the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

SELF-PITY

I never saw a wild thing,
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

THINK ABOUT THIS WHEN YOUR TIRED, COLD, HUNGRY, WET SLEEPING BAG, FEET HURT AND IT'S GOING TO RAIN FOR THE NEXT TWELVE HOURS. IT'S ALL GOOD, YOU COULD BE AT WORK.

"Live every day like it's your last, because sooner or later you'll turn out to be right."
("Breaker Morant")

"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that."
("Say Anything")

"Sometimes you just have to say, 'What the f**k.'"
("Risky Business")

But lately, the one that seems to really apply to my life is:

Reporter: "Mr. Hitchcock, is it true that you said that actors are cattle?"
Hitchcock: "That is completely untrue. What I said was that actors should be treated like cattle."

If the sun refuse to shine,
I don't mind, I don't mind,
If the mountains fell in the sea,
let it be, it ain't me.
Alright, 'cos I got my own world to look through,
And I ain't gonna copy you.

Now if 6 turned out to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind,
Alright, if all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, I don't care.
Dig, 'cos I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

"I tell you, my man, this is the American Dream in action! We'd be fools not to ride this strange torpedo all the way out to the end.'

'Indeed,' he said. 'We must do it.'

'Right,' I said. 'But first we need the car. And after that, the cocaine. And then the tape recorder, for special music, and some Acapulco shirts.' The only way to prepare for a trip like this, I felt, was to dress up like human peacocks and get crazy, then screech off across the desert and cover the story. Never lose sight of the primary responsibility.

But what was the story? Nobody had bothered to say."

RE: movie/song line to live by
The Wall

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost
It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between,
All I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase

To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak
And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air
It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me
I want to see

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
THERE IS NO LOSS
