Patton Oswalt
“Part of being in your twenties is not knowing an ally when you see one.”
Patton Oswalt, Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film

Mel Robbins
“There’s one thing that is guaranteed to increase your feelings of control over your life: a bias toward action.”
Mel Robbins, The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage

Patton Oswalt
“Take what you need from [films] and get out of the dark once in a while. You’re going to have more of the dark than you can handle, sooner than you think. The thing about the dark is it can never get enough of you.”
Patton Oswalt, Silver Screen Fiend: Learning About Life from an Addiction to Film

Brené Brown
“Heartbreak is more than just a particularly hard form of disappointment or failure. It hurts in an entirely different way because heartbreak is always connected to love and belonging. Over time, the more I’ve thought about heartbreak and love, the more clearly I’ve realized how vulnerable we are when we love anyone. The brokenhearted are the bravest among us—they dared to love.”
Brené Brown, Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.

Patton Oswalt
“Movies, the truly great ones and sometimes the truly bad, should be a drop in the overall fuel formula for your life. A fuel that should include sex and love, and food and movement, and friendships and your own work. All of it feeding the engine. But the engine of your life should be your life.”
Patton Oswalt
