The pursuit of HAPPINESS

Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... you can't do something. Not even me. All right? You got a dream... you gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.

Memento

So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it. Who cares if there's a few little details you'd rather not remember?

I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning. Even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still here. Do I believe the world's still here? Is it still out there? ... Yeah. We all need memories to remind ourselves who we are. I'm no different.

Oliver: In New York. Strike two was that I didn't play guitar. Strike three was that I was born under the wrong star sign. What was strike one?
Emily: Strike one was that I had to make the first move.
Oliver: I got strike one before we even met? You can't get strike one before you step up to the plate. […] I introduced myself.
Emily: What?
Oliver: In New York. I introduced myself. That's not a move?
Emily: Who called who today?
Oliver: I didn't have your number.
