in honor of RENT being back on stage in NYC, i dedicate this week to it, jonathan larson, and all the principles, lessons, and inspirations that come from RENT♥
-Dana Scully, X-Files (love this quote!)“Time passes in moments. Moments which, rushing past, define the path of a life, just as surely as they lead towards its end. How rarely do we stop to examine that path, to see the reasons why all things happen? To consider whether the path we take in life is our own making, or simply one into which we drift with eyes closed? But what if we could stop, pause to take stock of each precious moment before it passes? Might we then see the endless forks in the road that have shaped a life? And, seeing those choices, choose another path?”
“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart… and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City, Season 4, Episode 18♥
John Cage, Ally McBeal, Season 5, Episode 3♥“Well, that’s the trouble, I suppose, in coming to people with honesty. They sometimes counter with it.”
Scully: Looking like someone else, Mulder, and being someone else are completely different things.
Mulder: Well, maybe it’s not, I mean everybody else around you would treat you like you were somebody else, and ultimately maybe it’s other people’s reactions to us that make us who we are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
