Life is a game of inches.
delivered by Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday.
We are in hell right now….
we can fight our way back into the light.We can climb out of hell. One inch, at a time.….
You know when you get old in life things get taken from you. That’s, that’s part of life.
But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out that life is just a game of inches. So is football. Because in either game--life or football--the margin for error is so small.
I mean one half step too late or too early--you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow or too fast and you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game. Every minute, every second.…when we add up all those inches, that’s going to make the f*ing difference between WINNING and LOSING -- between LIVING and DYING.
I’ll tell you this...in any fight it is the guy who is willing to die who is going to win that inch. And I know if I am going to have any life anymore it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch. Because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.
