"From the movie, The Boy Who Could..." - Quote by Guy Finley

“Believing that anxious thoughts and feelings can restore order to your life is like using a chain-saw to fold your laundry.”

“Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same. The leaf that captures a stream of sunlight, and then transfers its energy to the tree, serves one purpose in the spring and summer, and another completely different one through the fall and winter.”

“It only seems that there is something more important for you to do than to just quietly be yourself.”

“You are in the perfect position to get there from here.”

“The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine.”

“Desire is the presentiment of our inner abilities, and the forerunner of our ultimate accomplishments.”

“The ability to "fantasize" is the ability to survive. It's wonderful to speak about this subject because there have been so many wrong-headed people dealing with it.... The so-called realists are trying to drive us insane, and I refuse to be driven insane.... We survive by fantasizing. Take that away from us and the whole damned human race goes down the drain.”

“Chewing the food of sweet and bitter fancy.”

“But he could not renounce his infinite capacity for illusion at the very moment he needed it most... he saw fireflies where there were none.”
