I think a lot of people think about the wrongs they did in life at some point. I can't make amends for the reason I'm on death row because my life was in jeopardy, but I wish things were different. But yes, I've done wrongs in life although there were petty things and I have made my peace with God, as should most people.
– Lonnie Earl Johnson
It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.

I have great admiration and respect for the men and women of the U.S. armed forces, with whom I have worked closely and been embedded in Baghdad, Tikrit, and Mosul and other places. As for my colleagues at CNN, I am enormously proud to have worked with you, risking my life in the trenches with you.

I gotta do some sad scenes. Why, I never tried to make anybody cry in my life! And I go 'round all the time dolled up in kippie clothes-wear everything but a corset! Can't stub my toe in this picture nor anything! Just imagine having to play-act all the time without ever getting hit with anything!
– Buster Keaton
Awake, my soul, and with the sun thy daily course of duty run. Cast off dull sloth, and joyful rise to pay thy morning sacrifice. All praise to thee, who safe hast kept and hast refreshed me while I slept! Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake.

A cello's soul is the resonance that makes it unique: how it was made, when it was made, who's played it. Mine may be who my parents were, what I know about life, who I love and have loved. All that makes my bones resonate. If a director is fortunate enough to tap into that, it's an endless well of information.

I think with those who are gifted to make epic cinema, the vision required, again, is that the equation between the director and the story and the leading protagonists has to be one of mathematical precision and balance and grace.

– Alfred Korzybski
Adults who still derive childlike pleasure from hanging gifts of a ready-made education on the Christmas tree of a child waiting outside the door to life do not realize how unreceptive they are making the children to everything that constitutes the true surprise of life.
