We are the playthings of the gods.

We laugh, that we may not cry.

Well, we're all dying in increments. I don't mind people knowing what I look like, but I don't want them thinking I'm dying.

If you pay attention to the movies they will tell you what people desire and fear. Movies are hardly ever about what they seem to be about. Look at a movie that a lot of people love, and you will find something profound, no matter how silly the film may be.

It has been said that the reason we establish relationships is to assure ourselves of a witness to our lives.

How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story Nightfall, about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen.

Most of us do not consciously look at movies.
