thinking of life in general i thought about one of my favorite quotes. i have many mind you, but this one was on my mind today...it's from the most amazing movie called 'Gladiator.' so i was thinking....what is your favorite quote/lyric/phrase or short story and why?
to those who feel inclined post away....
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."
-for those of you who know the story, i love this quote because it exemplifies the power and determination he had. he was a roman general who was sentenced to death because he stood up for his beliefs. his wife and kids were murdered and he essentially lost everything. despite all this he refused to give up and made the best of his life. i once read that life is not about being dealt the right hand, but is about how we play the hand we're dealt. just some words for thought.
