Interviewer: Don’t you don’t you realize that you’re thought of as the greatest actor ever?

Marlon Brando: Uh, what’s the difference? See that’s a part of the sickness in America, that you have to think in terms of “who wins, who loses, who’s good, who’s bad, who’s best, who’s worst. We always think in those terms, in the extreme terms. I don’t like to think that way. Everybody has their own value in a different way and I don’t like to think who was the best at this or that. I mean, what’s the point of it.

And whats been forgotten today, in our rush to judgement, is that in the field of observation, chance favors the prepared mind - Louis Pasteur, Crisis, the movie

From the movie - A dark place

Donald: Why do you think you forget so much?

Donna: Well, Donny, I don’t know. I guess I’m just a forgetful person.

Donald: No, that’s not it. I think you are a careless person. It’s more important to get the job done than get the job done right. Human nature though. Getting the job done the easy way is like running away from the problem. Because dealing with the problem takes hard work.

A man’s ambition should never exceed his worth. - John Wick: Chapter 4

From John Wick: Chapter 4

There are three kinds of men in this world: Those who have something to live for. Those who have something to die for. Those who have something to kill for.

(Nobody respects a man that don’t do any of the above)

Seek the truth and endure the consequences. - John Wick: Chapter 4

We have reached the base camp of Mount Bullshit. - The menu, the movie

Worry is like interest paid in advance on a debt that never comes due. - The Spanish Prisoner, the movie

What is a good movie?

You have to be memorable if you want people to be thinking about it thirty seconds after it happens. I don’t think the reaction matters as long as they’re reacting.

A sheep is a sheep but also meat and wool. People have past-times - outside of what they usually are or what they usually do. - From the TV show Taboo.

You think all who submit are evil. No. We are submitting to the way the world has become. All the good men who fight them are washed up somewhere on the banks of some river. - From the TV show Taboo.

I believe when you’ve been stuck too long in one spot, it’s best to throw a grenade and jump. And pray. - Robyn, From the movie “Tracks”

#+end_That would have made it about, like, 10:00 my time. I was just goin’ out in the yard. I was in the habit of savin’ my newspaper till then. Stretch me legs, breath of fresh air. Bit of a read, stretch out the good part of the day as it were. - From the move The Limey
