• ·       I am trying to find the courage to be tender in my life. I know violence is weakness. Only the gentle are ever really strong. - James Dean

  ·       If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man. - James Dean

  ·       Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today. - James Dean

  ·       Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated. You must say, “Wait. Let me see.” And above all, you must be honest with yourself. - James Dean

  ·       There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning. A fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. Genius would have it that we swim in sand. We are fish, and we drown. - James Dean

  ·       Reality doesn’t have any preconceived ideas. You’ve got to learn how to smoke the cigarette, not act smoking the cigarette. You need to drink the drink, not act drinking the drink. You’ve got to do things and not show them.

  ·       The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results. - James Dean

  ·       Remember: Life is short—break the rules (they were made to be broken). - James Dean

  ·       Forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile. The clouds are lined with silver, and the glass is half full (though the answers won’t be found at the bottom). Don’t sweat the small stuff. You are who you are meant to be, Dance as if no one’s watching, Love as if it’s all you know. - James Dean
