Dad, is the engine on fire? It smells like something's burning.
Laura Palmer : Something is burning!

Leland Palmer : It's the engine!




Philip Gerard : You stole the corn! I had it canned over the store! And, miss the look on her face when it was opened! There was a stillness! Like the Formica table top! The thread will be torn, Mr. Palmer! Come on! The thread will be torn! It's him! It's your father!

Heroin had robbed Renton of his sex drive, but now it returned with a vengeance. And as the impotence of those days faded into memory, grim desperation took hold of his sex-crazed mind. His post-junk libido, fuelled by alcohol and amphetamine, taunted him remorselessly with his own unsatisfied desire.
 
The reason why I refuse to take existentialism as just another French fashion or historical curiosity, is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century. I'm afraid we're losing the real virtues of living life passionately in the sense of taking responsibility for who you are, the ability to make something of yourself and feel good about life. Existentialism is often discussed as if it's, a philosophy of despair, but I think the truth is just the opposite. Sartre, once interviewed, said he never really felt a day of despair in his life. One thing that comes out from reading these guys is not a sense of anguish about life so much as, a real kind of exuberance, of feeling on top of it, it's like your life is yours to create. I've read the post modernists with some interest, even admiration, but when I read them I always have this awful nagging feeling that something absolutely essential is getting left out. The more you talk about a person as a social construction or as a confluence of forces or as fragmented of marginalised, what you do is you open up a whole new world of excuses. And when Sartre talks about responsibility, he's not talking about something abstract. He's not talking about the kind of self or soul that theologians would argue about. It's something very concrete, it's you and me talking, making decisions, doing things, and taking the consequences. It might be true that there are six billion people in this world, and counting, but nevertheless -what you do makes a difference. It makes a difference, first of all, in material terms, it makes a difference to other people, and it sets an example. In short, I think the message here is that we should never simply write ourselves off or see each other as a victim of various forces. It's always our decision who we are.

I keep thinking about
something you said.

- Something I said?
- Yeah.

About feeling like you
observe your life...

...from the perspective of
an old woman about to die. Remember?

Yeah. I still feel that way sometimes.

Like I'm looking back on my life.

Like my waking life is her memories.

Exactly.

I heard that Tim Leary said
as he was dying...


...he looked forward to when his
body was dead but his brain was alive.

Those six to 12 minutes of brain
activity after everything shuts down.

And a second of dream consciousness
is infinitely longer than a waking one.

- Know what I mean?
- Yeah.

Like, I wake up at 10:12.
Then I go back to sleep...

...and have long, intricate dreams that
seem hours long. Then I wake up and...

...it's 10:13.

Exactly. So in that six to 12 minutes
of brain activity...

...that could be your life.

You are that woman,
looking back over everything.

– Look. I consider myself a realist, all right, but in philosophical terms, I'm what's called a pessimist.

– Um, okay. What's that mean?

– Means I'm bad at parties.

– Let me tell you. You ain't great outside of parties either.

- You know the charge.
- I'm innocent. I didn't kill that pimp. You couldn't get anything on me, and you framed me.
- That is quite true. But your real crime has nothing to do with a pimp's death.
- Well, then, what is it?
- Yours is the most terrible crime a human being can commit. I accuse you of a wasted life.
- Guilty.
- The penalty for that is death.
- Guilty.

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, with the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain. And an athlete. And a basket case. A princess. And a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.

Izleće mi ovih dana klip na instagramu, kaže Paćino da je za vreme korone umro, da su mu bili izgubili puls, i pita ga novinar jer video nešto metafizično, neku svetlost... kaže Paćino da nije video ništa, nada, da je kako Hamlet kaže to be, or not ot be. I onda se setih filma Bambuzld Spajka Lija, kada izlazi crni stand up komičar na scenu i kaže da izvodi crnog Šekspira, ovi ga pitaju kako, a on kaže - To be, or not to be that is a motherfuc*kin question!
 
A slumber did my spirit seal;
I had no human fears:
She seemed a thing that could not feel
The touch of earthly years.

No motion has she now, no force;
She neither hears nor sees;
Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,
With rocks, and stones, and trees.

- Lucy poems; William Wordsworth
 
And God help you if you use voice-over in your work, my friends.

God help you. It's flaccid, sloppy writing.

Any idiot can write voice-over narration to explain the thoughts of the character.

- Well, there's something you should know about Robert Crawford. He wrote a book a few years after mine. And all the publishers rejected it, which was the right decision. And instead of writing another one he took a job teaching others how to write.
- How you know all that?
- Just keep in mind that bitterly disappointed teachers can be either very effective or very dangerous.

“I love your eyes, my darling friend, Their play so passionate and bright'ning, When a sudden stare up you send, And like a heaven-blown lightning, It'd take in all from end to end But there's more that I admire: Your eyes when they're downcast In bursts of love-inspired fire And through the eyelash goes fast A somber, dull call of desire..”​

 
When I wrote my book "How to Be Rich", the publishers wanted to change the title. They wanted to call it "How to Get Rich." Well, I told them, "Getting rich is easy." I mean, any fool can get rich. And any number of fools do. But being rich, that's something else. When a man becomes wealthy, he has to deal with the problems of freedom. All the choices he could possibly want. An abyss opens up. Well, I've watched that abyss. I've watched it ruin men, marriages. But most of all, it ruins the children. I thought I could trust my own blood. I wanted to give him everything, everything I've learned, all of my knowledge, all that I've built. And he just wanted to pick my pocket like his father, like all the parasites that have swarmed around me all my life. That's why I like things. You see? Things, objects, artifacts, paintings... They are exactly what they appear to be. They never change. They never disappoint. There's a purity to beautiful things that I've never been able to find in another human being.

Lord of War

"There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11"

"Soon there's going to be a knock on that door and you will be called outside. In the hall there will be a man who out-ranks you. First he'll compliment you on the fine job you've done - on you making the world a safer place. That you're to receive a commendation or a promotion. And then he's going to tell you that I am to be released. You're going to protest. You'll probably threaten to resign. But in the end, I will be released. The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of those men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year, sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So, you call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil"
