The movie Peaceful Warrior starred Nick Nolte as a mystic garage mechanic who helps a young gymnast male athlete find his way back after a bad crash. While it deals a lot with Eastern mysticism and departs as some points from Christian theology, I found several quotes really powerful and worth saving. Enjoy. Oh, if you haven’t seen the movie, you should.
–Be conscious of your choices, responsible for your actions.
–Death isn’t sad; the sad thing is that most people don’t live at all.
–A warrior does not give up what he loves; he finds the love in what he does.
–Absolute vulnerability–that is the only true courage.
–A warrior acts; a fool reacts.
–There is no starting or stopping, only doing.
–There’s never NOTHING going on.
–Take out the trash; the trash is anything that is keeping you from the only thing that matters…this moment, here, NOW. When you truly are in the “here and now,” you’ll be amazed at what you can do and how well you can do it.
