This is movie had a great impact on me. I love Nick Nolte's Socrates character, and the messages in this film. Wow. I had never heard of the book nor the author, and still haven't read it. I have since watched a couple of YouTube interviews of the author. But Nick Nolte?! What a performance! And I am sure for him this low-budget project was not able about the money - or not solely anyway. Has my respect.
Quotes from the book that inspired the movie
“Everyone tells you what’s good for you. They don’t want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs.”
“Life has three rules: Paradox, Humor, and Change.
- Paradox: Life is a mystery; don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
- Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.
- Change: Know that nothing ever stays the same.”
“Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.”
“Death is not sad; the sad thing is that most people don’t really live at all.”
