Quotes and Sayings About Thinking

I want them to be a little restless about my movies, and keep trying to find something in them.
-- Abbas Kiarostami

I think that everyone's life is controlled by a series of events. They choose what they want and if it is in their control they can reach it. Sometimes luck shines on them and sometimes it doesn't.
