There are no ordinary moments. Socrates Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all. Do you know what's the difference between me and you? You practice gymnastics, I practice everything! Dialogue Dan Millman: You know you got two different shoes on, right? Socrates: One's a little newer than the other. Dan Millman: Sorry, Coach. Coach Garrick: Sorry doesn't mean anything. Dan Millman: I know more than you think. Socrates: And you think more than you know. But knowledge is not the same as wisdom. Dan Millman: Yeah? What's the difference? Socrates: You know how to clean a windshield, right? Dan Millman: Yeah. Socrates: Wisdom is doing it. Socrates: There's a lot you'd have to know before you could understand what you saw. Dan Millman: Go. Ask me. Ask me something. Captain. Socrates: Are you happy? You said I could ask you anything. Dan Millman: What does happy have to do with anything? Socrates: Everything. Dan Millman: My dad's got plenty of cash, school's kind of a breeze, I get straight A's. I got great friends, I'm in great shape, and I only sleep alone when I absolutely want to. Socrates: So why can't you sleep at night? Dan Millman: What would you say if I told you that I keep seeing those shoes in a dream I keep having? Socrates: I'd say maybe you're still asleep. You can live a whole lifetime without ever being awake. Dan Millman: Hey, Socrates. If you know so much how come you're working at a gas station? Socrates: This is a service station. We offer service. There's no higher purpose. Dan Millman: Than pumping gas? Socrates: Service to others. [Dan and Socrates are eating dinner together. Dan is eating with his hands very quickly.] Socrates: Slow down. You might taste something. Dan Millman: You sure got a lot of rules about stuff, don't you? Socrates: Not rules. Things I've learned from my own life experience. Socrates: Everyone tells you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs. Dan Millman: And let me guess. You want me to believe yours. Socrates: No. I want you to stop gathering information from outside yourself and start gathering it from the inside. Dan Millman: :[Dan laughs] What are you, part of some cult or something? Socrates: People are afraid of what's inside and that's the only place they're ever gonna find what they need. Dan Millman: Life has just three rules? Socrates: And you already know them... Dan Millman: Paradox, humour, and change. Socrates: Paradox... Dan Millman: Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out. Socrates: Humour... Dan Millman: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure. Socrates: Change... Dan Millman: Know that nothing stays the same. Socrates:Where are you? Dan Millman: Here. Socrates: What time is it? Dan Millman: Now. Socrates: What are you? Dan Millman: This moment.
