In Other Words


“I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.”
 – Bruce Lee

“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.  Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
– Bruce Lee

“The things I do for love.”
-Courage, from Courage the Cowardly Dog

“Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.”
-Ludwig Van Beethoven

“Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.”
-Wolfgang Mozart

“There are no men who fear their wives. Only men who respect them.”
-Donnie Yen, from Ip Man

“Nobody is #1 forever.”
-Donnie Yen, from Ip man


“I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.”
-Jackie Chan

“Don't try to be like Jackie. There is only one Jackie. Study computers instead.”
-Jackie Chan

“I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.”
-Edgar Allen Poe
