Guillermo del Toro Quotes

Life moves forward. The old leaves wither, die and fall away, and the new growth extends forward into the light.

You only grow by coming to the end of something and by beginning something else.

Everything in my life has been a stepping-stone to something else.

Getting to the next level always requires ending something, leaving it behind, and moving on. Growth demands that we move on. Without the ability to end things, people stay stuck, never becoming who they are meant to be, never accomplishing all that their talents and abilities should afford them.

*I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago... *So soon you will be in that part of the book where you are holding the bulk of the pages in your left hand, and only a thin wisp of the story in your right. *We get one story, you and I, and one story alone....It might be time for you to go.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often.

It ain't about going backwards. It's about moving forward.

I'm not going to the past, and it's not tied to me, every time moving forward, and this is more important - to move forward every time.
