Roland Merullo
“Some people use their own hurt as an excuse for hurting others”
Roland Merullo, The Talk-Funny Girl

“And finally this question

The mystery of whose story it
will be.

Of who draws the curtain.

Who is it that chooses our steps
in the dance?

Who drives us mad?

Lashes us with whips
and crowning us
with victory when we
survive the impossible.

Who is it... that does all these things?

Who honors those we love for the
very life we live?

Who sends monsters to kill us, and
at the same time sings that we'll
never die?

Who teaches us what's real and how to
laugh at lies?

Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend?

Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?

It's you...

You have all the weapons you need...

Now fight!”
Zack Snyder Sucker Punch

Christopher McCandless
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
Christopher McCandless

Gillian Flynn
“A lot of people lacked that gift: knowing when to fuck off.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

Sigmund Freud
“In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis.”
Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion
