    “When you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that’s a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us… And I know if I’m going to have any life anymore it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch, because that’s what living is, the six inches in front of your face.”
    Al Pacino, Any Given Sunday

    “You wanna know what the truth is? I still love you and I probably will love you for a very long time. But I can’t just be your buddy, because as much as i enjoy the concept of being ‘just friends’ in reality it’s a bizarre form of torture and i’m just not willing to participate in it. so right now what i wanna do is just move on and get over you and the only way for me to do that is to not be around you anymore.”
    Joshua Jackson, Dawson’s Creek
