And all these things kind of congealed into the film "Paterson" eventually.
Jim JarmuschThe short conversation that follows eventually led to a tree religion. Its tenet of faith was this: a tree that was a good tree and led a clean decent and upstanding life could be assured of a future life after death.

Terry PratchettBroken Window Theory: Consider a building with a few broken windows. If the windows are not repaired, the tendency is for vandals to break a few more windows. Eventually, they may even break into the building, and if it's unoccupied, perhaps become squatters or light fires inside. Or consider a sidewalk. Some litter accumulates.

Basically, success the way we've defined it is no longer sustainable.

Tom RobbinsAbu Dharr once described the people of the world, says, "They breed what will they ultimately bury, they build what will eventually be destroy, they hold firm to what is emphemeral, and they forsake what is everlasting.

Suzanne Giesemann...You can have this whole entire life, with all your opinions, your loves, your fears. Eventually those parts of you disappear.

In preservation I feel like I can keep some of it from slipping away.

Neal A. MaxwellThe happening and telling are very different things. This doesnโt mean that the story isnโt true, only that I honestly donโt know anymore if I really remember it or only remember how to tell it.

SwindollWell, it was interesting because when I was going to do it the first time in my head was Leonardo DiCaprio [for Chris] and Marlon Brando was going to play the character that Hal Holbrook eventually played.

Sean PennActually, I caught myself thinking that I was hoping for someone to break into my apartment and steal my computer, or a big fire would take place in my apartment, or thinking of uninstalling my firewall so someone could hack into my computer.
