No tennis player is perfect. Even if you're world #1, I don't think, you still have things to improve on, and I'm not even close to that. So I am going to have weaknesses in my game; I am going to have strengths in my game, but I still have time to d...

Holly Gennero McClane: I have a request. Hans Gruber: What idiot put you in charge? Holly Gennero McClane: You did. When you murdered my boss. Now everybody's looking to me. Personally, I'd pass on the job. I don't enjoy being this close to you.
Capt. Bart Mancuso: Hang on, Jonesy. If I can get you close enough... can you track this sucker? Seaman Jones: Yes, sir. Now that I know what to listen for, I'll bag 'im. Capt. Bart Mancuso: [smiling] Carry on.
Young Murph: Dad? Cooper: Sorry, Murph. Go back to bed. Young Murph: I thought you were the ghost. Cooper: No. There are no such things as ghosts, babe. Young Murph: Grandpa says you can get ghosts. Cooper: Maybe that is because Grandpa is close to b...

It's a rare and precious thing to be close to suffering because our society - in many ways - tells us that suffering is wrong. If it's our own suffering, we try to hide it or isolate ourselves. If others are suffering, we're taught to put them away s...
