“At some point, your memories, your stories, your adventures, will be the only things you'll have left.”

“Success is always temporary. When all is said and done, the only thing you'll have left is your character.”

“Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories.”

“Your road may turn around, but at one time, at some point, you'll definitely have a chance to be yourself.”

“Is this what it is to get older, to have adventures you can no longer tell your family because you are moving apart from them?...Or do you grow up and have adventures you tell no one? Are some adventures only yours alone?”

“Before you know it you'll be my age telling your own granddaughter the story of your life and you wanna make it an interesting one, don't you? You wanna be able to tell her some adventures, some excitements, some something. How you live your life, little one, is a gift for those who come after you, a kind of inheritance.”
