Life is a storm (my favorite movie quote)

"Life is a storm, my young friend.

You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.

What makes you a man, is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome: "Do your worst! For I will do mine!"

Then the Fates will know you as we know you. As Albert Mondego, the man."
