I really love the culture of hip-hop.

The battle is all over except the ‚shouting‘ when one knows what is wanted and has made up his mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

Whatever I engage in, I must push inordinately.

I don’t let even a day go by wherein I don’t give at 100 per cent.

I wanted to be in a punk band before I had even heard any punk music.

It takes up enough of my time and interest just working on comedy. I just enjoy it and love doing it.

Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.

The man who knows it can’t be done counts the risk, not the reward.

Many people have an intense feeling about what they’re best at. Too often, they’re driven away from it by other people.

I don’t control my writing – it controls me.

There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

Better to fight for something than live for nothing.

In the realm of ideas everything depends on enthusiasm… in the real world all rests on perseverance.

Red is such an interesting color to correlate with emotion, because it’s on both ends of the spectrum. On one end you have happiness, falling in love, infatuation with someone, passion, all that. On the other end, you’ve got obsession, jealousy, danger, fear, anger and frustration.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.

Faith embraces many truths which seem to contradict each other.

Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.

I’m first and foremost a writer. I followed my personal legend, my childhood dream of becoming a writer, but I can’t say why I’m one.

The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew’s cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo’s choice to know the truth. It’s a beautiful, beautiful story.

The absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

I draw from the Absurd three consequences: my revolt, my liberty, my passion.

To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your goal.

You can’t knock on opportunity’s door and not be ready.

When trouble breaks out, our men and women in uniform, they don’t just sit around thinking about it or talking about it – they act. They put on that uniform. They leave their loved ones behind. They go out there. They give orders. They follow orders. They do whatever it takes to keep our country safe.

Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don’t really give a toss whether they’re playing or not because they’re getting paid anyway.

Ambition has become a dirty word, and I believe it is a great evolutionary force for the positive. If people fail or go astray in their ambition I can live with it but not with people lowering their expectations, wasting time, slacking off and glorifying failure and stupidity.

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows where he is going.

You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing.

I’m super serious about music. That’s, like, the only thing I’m serious about.

Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?

Mental toughness is a lifestyle. It’s something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up, I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid, and everybody goes, ‚How did you get to where you’re at today? How did you get to where you’re running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours? Being so disciplined?‘

I’m gonna go hard no matter what because I gotta feed my family, and I gotta feed myself.

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it’s from Neptune.

If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.
