Attitude, Confucius

成事不說, 遂事不諫, 旣往不咎。

- 孔子

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about...things that are past, it is needless to blame.

- Confucius (孔子)

Death, Jiddu Krishnamurti

Death is extraordinarily like life when we know how to live. You cannot live without dying. You cannot live if you do not die psychologically every minute.

- Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986)

Hero, Halle Berry as Catwoman from Catwoman (2004)

[voiceover] It all started on the day that I died. If there had been an obituary, it would have described the unremarkable life of an unremarkable woman, survived by no one. But there was no obituary, because the day that I died was also the day I started to live. But that comes later. This was my life. Days blended together, consistently ordinary, thanks to a job that was the practical version of my passion. I was supposed to be an artist by now. Instead, I was designing ads for beauty cream.

- Halle Berry as Catwoman from Catwoman (2004) [first lines]

Wisdom, Confucius

我非生而知之者 好古敏以求之者也。

- 孔子

Life, Helen Keller

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Hero, Brandon Routh as Superman from Superman Returns (2006)

Lois Lane: The world doesn't need a savior, and neither do I.
Superman: Lois, will you fly with me. There's something I want to show you... please.
Lois Lane: I can't be gone long.
Superman: You won't be.
Superman: [flies Lois high above the city] Listen. What do you hear?
Lois Lane: Nothing.
Superman: I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior, but I hear them crying for one everyday.

- Brandon Routh as Superman from Superman Returns (2006)
