I am a major Johnny Depp fan, and as such, I'm now going to point out a quote that I love from Alice in Wonderland (the one that came out this year). If you haven't gathered by now, I am quite a romantic, and so these two excerpts really struck me as...awesome:
Alice: It's impossible!
Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.
Point: Anything's possible if you believe in it. This brings two ideas to my mind. First, it's inspirational! Use your imagination as much as you can! Second, it kind of relates to my thesis that faith is individualized and helps the believe get through what would seem like impossible situations...not because of an omniscient force, but because of their faith that it exists.
Another quote (and shame on me, I can't remember if it is in this conversation or not, but nonetheless...):
Alice: I often believe six impossible things before breakfast. (as her father said)
This is something everyone should try, I think. It can be as simple as believing in a dream you had the night before, which probably included something that was impossible.
Just food for thought.
