what saves a man is to take a step

September 19: inoculate
If there was some vaccine that I could take that would inoculate me against hope, I would sign up in an instant.

Set your own scene.
In what movie or book can you picture yourself? Which do you fantasize you could have played a part in, or wish you could have been around for the making of? What music - artist, album, song - always brings about a visceral response for you, making you feel a certain way? Please share, if you're willing, examples of books, movies & music that have affected your life this way.

[the title quotation is by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, from Wind, Sand and Stars, trans. from the French by Lewis Galantière, and reads in its entirety: "What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it."]
