“You have to decide whats most important to you. Keeping your pride and getting nothing or taking a risk and maybe, maybe having everything.”

“Maybe sometimes you have to take a risk without worrying about the potential disaster.”

“Who gets everything they want, Danny, exactly how they want it? You have to decide the most important thing and go from there.”

“How old do you have to get before wisdom descends like a plastic bag over your head and you learn to keep your big mouth shut? Maybe never. Maybe you get more frivolous with age.”

“Maybe it's not as important to you as it was for me, but that's not for you to decide.”

“You risked your life, but what else have you ever risked? Have you risked disapproval? Have you ever risked economic security? Have you ever risked a belief? I see nothing particularly courageous about risking one's life. So you lose it, you go to your hero's heaven and everything is milk and honey 'til the end of time. Right? You get your reward and suffer no earthly consequences. That's not courage. Real courage is risking something that might force you to rethink your thoughts and suffer change and stretch consciousness. Real courage is risking one's clichés.”
