“Thank you for showing me that sometimes you have to forego doing what’s popular in order to do what’s right.” – Monique – Oscar acceptance speech for best supporting actress
The second quote comes from a Robin Williams stand up comedy show on HBO, but I can’t find it and obviously don’t know it by heart so I’ll paraphrase. He was talking about an alcoholic having a drink, but I think it can easily be applied to any strong addiction. He said something like…
Having a drink (indulging in your addiction) is like going on top of a really tall building and looking down. Your logic tells you “step away from the edge”, but there’s always a little voice inside you that whispers “jump !”…… “You can fly ! 
” “jump !”
