Wisdom from Kurosawa, Smith, Spader & Shatner...

From Ikiru: I can't afford to hate people.... I haven't got that kind of time...



Patti Smith.... Ladies & Gentlemen... Patti Smith....

Bit of a stretch but ... Spader & Shatner on Boston Legal (wisdom by proxy):
Alan: 'I think we live our lives so afraid of being seen as weak that we die without perhaps ever having been seen at all.' ... 'Denny, do you ever worry that when you die people will ... never have ... truly known you?'

Denny: 'I don't want them to know me, I want them to believe my version. Besides... you know me. That's enough.'... 'Cigars? Scotch? ... that's a true relationship... and, I love you... bonus points!'
