Book of Ecclesiastes, God is saying... Write a good story, take somebody with you and let me help

...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.

It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.

Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

Half the time I pick up a book, that's what I'm trying to get.

Most of us are waiting. We're waiting for something interesting to happen. And I think we're going to wait forever if we don't do something more interesting with our lives.

I didn't know how story worked. So, when writing the screenplay, people introduced me to the science of it. And I'm grateful. I'll probably use that information for the rest of my career, in terms of writing novels or writing stories. And then, of course, to help me live a better story, a more meaningful story
