Patrick Swayze

"I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad."

"I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised."

"I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it'd drive me crazy."

"I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light."

"The longer your life goes on, the more death you face."

"How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work."

"I think what creates a winner is a person who can connect with their partner - another human being.. connect with their soul"

"When those you love die, the best you can do is honor their spirit for as long as you live. You make a commitment that you’re going to take whatever lesson that person or animal was trying to teach you, and you make it true in your own life… it’s a positive way to keep their spirit alive in the world, by keeping it alive in yourself."

"The way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want."
