Journeys in the form of words
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."- Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption) The Shawshank Redemption is arguably one of the best movies made. It wasn't action-packed or a special effects masterpiece, but it had all the elements needed to create a phenomenal story. Full of twists, …
"See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. See the whole world anew each day!"- Arthur Mendelson (Patch Adams) Every time I watch the movie Patch Adams it makes me sad that Robin Williams is no longer with us. That man was a gift …
"There is no such thing as a sure thing. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what you think."- Ali (Draft Day) This was another movie that caught me by surprise. I love football, I love movies about football, and I love Kevin Costner. Draft Day was not quite what …
"A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart."- Zeus (Hercules) Inspiration can come from anywhere. Whether it is the most unlikely of places, or maybe even an odd place. I have always been a fan of Disney and what I believe was always the true …
"I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if I don't stay true to what I believe."- Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge) The inspiration of today will come with a word of caution. This movie is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Hacksaw Ridge is a movie that is based on a …
"A man's body may grow old, but inside, his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever." - Garth Secondhand Lions I don't consider myself to be old, but I am at that point where I start noticing things that used to come easy to me, aren't so easy anymore. I am …
"People need to spend more time in the real world, cuz, like Halladay said, reality is the only thing that's real."- Wade Watts (Ready Player One) I remember the first time I listened to the Ready Player One audiobook. It absolutely blew my mind. When I learned that they were making a movie, I was …
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."- Steve Jobs (Jobs) I don't consider, nor have I ever thought, myself to be a fan or follower of Steve Jobs. He was a dominant force in an industry that impacts the world but doesn't have that …
"Nothing in this world can take the place of good old persistence. Talent won't. Nothing's more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius won't. Unrecognized genius is practically a cliche. Education won't. Why the world is full of educated fools. Persistence and determination alone are all powerful."- Ray Krok (The Founder) There is no denying …
"Don't you ever stop dreaming, my love. You can be anyone you want to be."- Travers Goff (Saving Mr. Banks) Everything about Saving Mr. Banks was meant to motivate and inspire. Mary Poppins was wonderful, but getting a chance to watch a recreation of the events that made one of the greatest movies in cinematic …
