Só é lutador quem sabe lutar consigo mesmo. 

As pessoas não carecem de força, carecem de determinação. 

Bom mesmo é ir à luta com determinação, abraçar a vida com paixão, perder com classe e vencer com ousadia, porque o mundo pertence a quem se atreve e a vida é muito para ser insignificante.

A força não provém da capacidade física. Provém de uma vontade indomável. 

A força de vontade deve ser mais forte do que a habilidade. 

O que falta às pessoas não é força, e sim, vontade. 

Nada existe tão alto que o homem, com força de vontade, não possa apoiar a sua escada. 

Assim como o lutador, o guerreiro da luz conhece sua imensa força; e jamais luta com quem não merece a honra do combate. 

A alegria está na luta, na tentativa, no sofrimento envolvido e não na vitória propriamente dita. 

Quem luta com monstros deve velar por que, ao fazê-lo, não se transforme também em monstro. E se tu olhares, durante muito tempo, para um abismo, o abismo também olha para dentro de ti. 

Todo o homem luta com mais bravura pelos seus interesses do que pelos seus direitos. 

Quem luta contra nós reforça os nossos nervos e aguça as nossas habilidades. O nosso antagonista é quem mais nos ajuda. 

Dura é a luta contra o desejo, que compra o que quer à custa da alma. 

Não há quem sustente uma luta mais árdua do que aquele que se tenta vencer a si próprio. 

O homem é feito para a luta, não para o repouso. 

A vida é cheia de obrigações que a gente cumpre por mais vontade que tenha de as infringir deslavadamente. 

In 1942, everyone was ready to go and fight for the good guys. It was so simple.

People may assume 'The Act of Killing' is a historical documentary about what happened in 1965. But our purpose was to expose a present-day regime of fear for what it is.

I was born October 5, 1957, on the South Side of Chicago, in the Woodlawn area, a neighborhood that hasn't changed much in forty-five years. Our house was on 66th and Blackstone, but the city tore it down when the rats took over.

If malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.

The greatly anticipated 2009 Masters was like going to a Broadway hit and finding out that the star, Sir Tiger Woods, was off that night, and his replacement was the cab driver who dropped you off at the theater.

I was in love with someone very much, but he didn't love me and never would. I had a very difficult time accepting that. But I had hurt him very much, and I could see why he could never love me.

The loans I took out for my undergraduate degree were manageable. But my legal education was more expensive, and I paid for it almost entirely through public and private loans.

In my day, the only people who achieved real independence were my father, Mary Pickford and Charles Chaplin, who, with D. W. Griffith, formed United Artists. Other than that, everybody belonged to the big studios. They had no say in their own careers.

It seems that we have it backward in our society. We tend to look up to people who are under a great deal of stress, who can handle loads of stress, and those who are under a great deal of pressure.

I have contact with no one involved in the trial.

We hide so well. This is the bottom line: how hidden is male subjectivity? Name five books where male subjectivity is produced in an honest way.

I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me.

One city can look at other cities relative to their city and learn something. It's a matter of sharing the patterns of what exists in one society based on landscape or cultural values versus other cities.

We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.

The whole music world is based on the young, the very young people.

This is my ultimate fantasy: watching QVC with a credit card while making love and eating at the same time.

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

On time is 10 minutes late.

There are no factions in the Liberal Party.

A melody is not merely something you can hum.

I started making some proper decisions, getting things in order. It's kind of like cleaning up your house. I was looking for direction for what God wanted me to do - and that's when I got a call about The Passion.

Globalization could be the answer to many of the worlds seemingly intractable problems. But this requires strong democratic foundations based on a political will to ensure equity and justice.

One should commit no stupidity twice, the variety of choice is, in the end, large enough.

I sort of forgot about 'Z Channel' after it went off the air in 1989, but once Jason Resnick of Focus Features made the suggestion, I became obsessed all over again. I still am. I'll probably be this way until I'm 80, babbling about 'Z Channel.'
