"That's because we are uncool! And while women will always be a problem for guys like us, most of the great art in the world is about that very problem. Good-looking people have no spine!Their art never lasts! They get the girls, but we're smarter...Yeah, great art is about conflict and pain and guilt and longing and love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love... and let's face it, you got a big head start...The only true currency in this bankrupt world if what we share with someone else when we're uncool. My advice to you. I know you think those guys are your friends. You want to be a true friend to them? Be honest and unmerciful." -Almost Famous

My Italian grandmother had taken a placemat that she had from a restaurant and framed it, because she liked the quote. I got it when she passed, and it's kind of cheesy, but it's meaningful too:

Count your age by friends,
not years.
Count your life by smiles,
not tears.

~Sex and the City

After all -- people die, computers crash. All we can do is breathe and reboot.
~Sex and the City

Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve things, as revenge. To show that I could.
