With the release of Pirates, there's been a lot of Johnny Depp footage played. One of the best things I heard was his response, in an older interview, to the question "How does it feel to turn 30?".

His response? "Ten years is enough time to spend in your Twentys."

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
