1 " Because we can't just blow up enough things that this becomes a good situation. "
― James S.A. Corey , Babylon's Ashes (The Expanse, #6)
2 " In order that life should be a story or romance to us, it is necessary that a great part of it, at any rate, should be settled for us without our permission. If we wish life to be a system, this may be a nuiseance; but if we wish it to be a drama, it is an essential. It may often happen, no doubt, that a drama may be written by somebody else which we like very little. But we should like it still less if the author came before the curtain every hour or so, and forced on us the whole trouble of inventing the next act. A man has control over many things in his life; he has control over enough things to be the hero of a novel. But if he had control over everything, there would be so much hero that there would be no novel. "
― G.K. Chesterton , Heretics
3 " You already beat yourself up for enough things that aren't your fault. People who care don't want to add to that." He paused, and then added gently, " But you assumed it was about you." I finished the beer and sighed. " Arrogance," I said." I feel stupid." " Good," Michael said. " It's good for everyone to feel that way sometimes. It helps remind you how much you still have to learn. "
4 " I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it's all said and done, it's all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that's one of hope. "
