What is your favorite quote?

There are so many quotes that I’d like, but I have to be honest the first quote that came into mind is this.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?”

The quote isn’t brilliant, but it’s funny in context. Uncle Rico is a cringe worthy character in Napoleon dynamite. He lives his entire life back in his twenties when he starred in football.

He looks off into the distance and offers this savage piece of advice

“If coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we’da been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.”

I still know a lot of people like that still living their high school or college days. I find it both charming as well as pathetic. When I love about these quotes, it is rooted into dreams that are lost and being stuck in the same place.

“You better believe things’d have been different. I’d have gone pro in a heartbeat. I’d be making millions of dollars and living in a big old mansion somewhere, you know, soaking it up in a hot tub with my soulmate.

Being in a hot tub with your soulmate, in other words, the American dream.

    I’m capable of being snapped back into school days, but mostly jr. high because it was such a dramatic change, going from small private school into large public middle. The people I knew are still so vivid, but more like a movie I watched and was influenced by.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
