Movie quotes

  • (..) and use its power as your own. I control it by surrendering control? It doesn't make any sense. Not everything does. Not everything has to. Your intellect has taken you far in life. But it will take you no further. Surrender, Stephen. Silence your ego and your power will rise. (..)
