Hollywood's Studio Era was part of a Golden Age because it didn't need profanity (unlike reality-television today) ↗

For the moment I can think of nothing— except that I am a sentient being stabbed by the miracle of these waters that reflect a forgotten world. ↗

The traces of our life here will lie cold and still, dreaming, like the brittle eyes of dolls in an abandoned cabin, and the last men will look to them for explanations, or apologies. ↗

Madoka: Won't anyone notice that Mami-san is dead? Homura: Mami Tomoe's only relatives are distant relations. It will be quite some time before anyone files a missing persons report. When one dies on that side of the wards, not even a body is left behind. She'll wind up forever a "missing person"... That is what happens to magical girls in the end. Madoka: ...That's too cruel! Mami-san has been fighting all alone for a long time for everyone's sake! For no one to even notice that she's gone... That's just too lonely a fate... Homura: It is just that kind of contract that gives us the power in the first place. It isn't for anyone else's sake. We fight on for the sake of our own prayer. So for no one to notice... for the world to forget us... That is just something we have to accept. ↗

These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one's self. To mind one's own business. Not to want to manage other people's affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest. ↗

There are three rape scenes that I've had to act in, and none of them have gotten to film. I don't think it's something that should be promoted in any way. ↗

Der Glaube an Gott ist ein Sichöffnen, ein Loslassen, ein tiefes Vertrauen, eine bedingungslose Liebe – aber manchmal war es so schwer zu lieben. Manchmal sank mein Herz vor Wut, Verzagtheit und Erschöpfung so tief, dass ich befürchtete, es würde bis ganz hinab auf den Grund des Pazifiks sinken und ich würde es nie wieder heraufziehen können. In solchen Augenblicken versuchte ich mir Mut zu machen. Ich fasste mir an den Turban, den ich mir aus den Überresten meines Hemds gewunden hatte und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES HUT!“ Ich fuhr mir über meine Hosen und rief: „DAS SIND GOTTES KLEIDER!“ Ich wies auf Richard Parker und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES KATZE!“ Ich wies auf das Rettungsboot und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES ARCHE!“ Ich breitete meine Arme weit und rief: „DAS SIND DIE GÖTTLICHEN GEFILDE!“ Ich hob den Finger zum Himmel und rief: „DAS IST GOTTES OHR!“ Auf diese Weise rief ich mir ins Gedächtnis, was die Schöpfung war und wo ich meinen Platz darin hatte. ↗

He had golden-brown hair, the most vivid baby-blue eyes, and a body that belonged on the cover of Men’s Health magazine. Her gaze roamed over his broad shoulders and down his chest. ↗
