Chinaski at the end of the Factotum movie: | |
If you are going to try, | |
go all the way. | |
Otherwise don't even start. | |
This could mean losing girlfriends, | |
wives, relatives, jobs. | |
And maybe your mind. | |
It could mean | |
not eating for three or four days. | |
It could mean | |
freezing on a park bench. | |
It could mean jail. | |
It could mean mockery, isolation. | |
Isolation is the gift. All the others | |
are a test of your endurance. | |
Of how much you really want to do it. | |
And you'll do it, despite rejection. | |
And it will be better than | |
anything else you can imagine. | |
If you're going to try, | |
go all the way. | |
There is no other feeling like that. | |
You will be alone with the gods. | |
And the nights will flame with fire. | |
You will ride life | |
straight to perfect laughter. | |
It's the only good fight there is. |
