Things happen to you out of luck, and if you get to stick around it's because you're talented. Whoopi Goldberg

Love & Marriage are about work & Compromise. They're about seeing someone for what he is, being disappointed and deciding to stick around anyway. They're about commitment and comfort, not some kind of sudden, hysterical recognition. Ayelet Waldman

Comfort can be a dangerous thing. You stick around home all the time where it's safe and nothing ever changes, and before you know it, you get set in your ways and you quit learning, you quit changing, you don't grow anymore. Frank Peretti

Sometimes all you need to live one more day is a good reason to stick around. Jodi Picoult

I think retirement's for old people. I'm still in the business, thank you. I have a young child of nine years old, and I want to live as long as I can to see him grow up. I'm enjoying my life and I want to stick around for as long as I can. Harrison Ford

Also, stick around. Don't lose your heart, just keep going, keep at it. Mark Ruffalo
