The fact that you can even make a record and leave a document that you were here, that's nothing to sneeze at.
When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.
Move out man! Life is fleeting by. Do something worthwhile, berfore you die. Leave Behind a work sublime, that will outline you and time.
It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world that they don’t care if that mark is a scar.
We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight; we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.
I have the opportunity to do that right now, to try to work as hard as I can to really leave my footprint in this game that has given me so much.
I try to get that across in the work, to try to, if I'm lucky, to make this world a little bit better for all of us before I check out. And that's if I'm lucky, I don't always get to have that privilege but I try always.
I don't mind if you forget me. Having learned my lesson, I never left an impression on anyone.

We have to make a mark, even if it's only a scribble.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'
I feel it's important to make a mark somewhere.

You want to be part of something like that, that's something bigger than yourself, that's something you leave a legacy of being part of something special.
At some point we all have to move on. Im here to create some kind of legacy in Brooklyn.
I guess I'm pleased and proud of the respect of my peers, and that when I disappear from the scene or from this earth, I will have left a mark. They'll say, 'He did it well.' I like being funny; it opens people up.
To know that there's a good chance that this is something that could potentially be around well after I leave this planet... it's a good feeling.
The case for my life... is this: that I have added something to knowledge, and helped others to add more
