“Sean: Do you think you're alone?
Will: What?
Sean: Do you have a soul-mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Someone who challenges you in every way. Who takes you places, opens things up for you. A soul-mate.
Will: Yeah. Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Chaucer, Pope, Kant…
Sean: They're all dead.
Will: Not to me, they're not.
Sean: But you can't give back to them, Will.
Will: Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts, no…
Sean: That's what I'm saying, Will. You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're afraid to take the first step because all you're seeing are the negative things that might happen ten miles down the road.”
― Good Will Hunting

“It won’t always go your way, so you can’t get trapped in this idea that just because you’ve imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it. Your entitled mind is dead weight. Cut it loose. Don’t focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim on what you are willing to earn!”

“To make fun of or try to intimidate someone they didn’t even know based on race alone was a clear indication that something was very wrong with them, not me.”
