"When writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen."

I'd like to share one of my favourite movie quotes. It came from the film V for Vendetta and it goes like this:

"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh, Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof."

Here's another one from the same film:

"We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world."

Basically, I remember these quotes fondly as they make me think about how the right idea for the right reasons can withstand the test of time and mortality.
