be your own ferryman

How people choose to live in this life, the decision is often in our own hearts, whether to take the initiative to break through the inner layers of self-imposed limitations, get rid of all kinds of childhood character weaknesses, some people choose to accept, some choose to cultivate their own heart. ...

One thing or a stage cannot be perfect, just like you know the answer is A, and the hole card in your hand is also A, but you are playing B again and again, whether you see the hole card wrong or don’t want to come up with the correct answer, Whether it's self-imposed limitations or personality, people are not gods, and everything can't be as they wish, but if you are lucky enough to get warm companionship, the answer will naturally be revealed. If not, it's nothing more than to give up and choose the next question. In the end, maybe the correct answer is not that unimportant at all,,,

The meaning of a journey is to make you see yourself more clearly. The so-called idealism is actually self-imposed limitations. The so-called warm treatment of others is actually a personality weakness. Layers of labels will inevitably cover up the real self. Labels, what's the difference between what you put on them? There is still a long way to go in life, and you are destined to experience different scenes with a rich heart, and you don't have to be attached to the scenery.

Make your own way, be your own ferryman, because there may be no one who will reveal the answer!

True Grit quotes

  • Mattie Ross: [Mattie tries to persuade LaBouef to continue the hunt with her] Have I held you back? I have a Colt's dragoon revolver which I know how to use, and I would be no more of a burden to you than I was to the marshal.

    LaBoeuf: That is not my worry. You have earned your spurs, that is clear enough... . you have been a regular old hand on the trail. But Cogburn is right, even if I would not give him the satisfaction of conceding it. The trail is cold, and I am... considerably diminished.

    Mattie Ross: How can you give up now, after the many months you've dedicated to finding Chaney? You have shown great determination. I misjudged you. I picked the wrong man.

    LaBoeuf: I would go on in your company if there were clear way to go. But we would be striking out blindly. Chelmsford is gone. We have chased him right off the map. There is nothing for it. I am bound for Texas, and it is time for you to go home too... . The marshal, when he sobers, is your way back.

    Mattie Ross: I will not go back! Not without Chaney, dead or alive.

    LaBoeuf: I misjudged you as well. I extend my hand.

    [He does, but Mattie does not take it]

    Mattie Ross: Mr. LaBoeuf! Please!

    LaBoeuf: [LaBoeuf keeps his hand extended; Mattie eventually squeezes it] Adios.

    [LaBoeuf rides away]

  • Mattie Ross: That is my father.

    Undertaker: If you would like to kiss him, it would be all right.

    Yarnell: He's gone to heaven. Praise the Lord.

    Mattie Ross: Why is it so much?

    Undertaker: The quality of the casket. And of the embalming. The lifelike appearance requires time and art. And the chemicals come dear. The particulars are in your bill.

    Undertaker: If you'd like to kiss him, it would be all right.

    Mattie Ross: Thank you, the spirit has flown.
