Life's Lessons from a Bum

While watching the movie "With Honors" again the other night[I saw this when I was in high school], I was touched by a conversation between Monty Kessler ( a senior at Harvard played by Brendan Fraser -- one of my longtime celebrity crushes..hehehe) and Simon Wilder (a bum played by Joe Pesci) -- while Simon was preparing his obituary.

Simon gave Monty a piece of his mind on one of life's important lessons:

"When it comes to relationships, everybody's a used-car salesman. . . . Oh, you gotta trust people, but you just can't believe in the warranty. . . . You'd be surprised how different the view is on the way out than on the way in."

I believe this holds some truth.
