"Sometimes, you have to be a high-riding b$tch to survive. Sometimes, being a b$tch is all a woman has to hang onto. ... An accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend." - Vera Donovan in Delores Claiborne 

Hell, I don't even take advice from real people. They can shove their advice.

There have been many.
Here are few you may relate to, too.

Gandalf:
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us."
Andrew Ryan:
"We all make choices but in the end, the choices make us."
Eleventh Doctor:
"I am and always will be, an optimist, the hoper of far-flung hopes, and the dreamer of improbable dreams."
Bruce Wayne:
"It's not who I am underneath - it's what I do that defines me."
John Conner: ( I can't believe I'm going to list this.. but it does prove to be a great statement....)
"The future has not been written.  There is no fate but what we make for ourselves."

And one of my favorites,
 
John Keating:
"No matter what anyone tells you, words and ideas can change the world."
