Quotes

There was this guy that only spoke in quotes to me.

Neat guy, though.

   He said a lot without saying much.

He told me that he had a purpose before everyone had an opinion. 

                      I thought that was a pretty cool thing to say to someone like me. 

And

 He told me that

  Little boys dream of becoming heroes 

        But as we get older 

We settle for not becoming villains.

It took me a few years before I understood what he meant by that one. 

He looked at me once and said,

“If you fall

   It's only because 

            You ascended.”

But my favorite thing that he said to me was, 

   “Just because we don't, doesn't mean we can't.”

Pretty inspirational stuff if you ask me.

Whenever I am feeling a little insecure—a little defeated—I give him a call to hear a few of his quotes. 

And . . . They seem to be helping.
