What was fascinating about the #MeToo movement was I was sitting with friends who weren’t in the industry, and there wasn’t one of us who hadn’t been assaulted at some point. We’d never had that conversation before. That was an eye-opener. […] I think everyone has battled their fair share of monsters. It’s not just actresses. It’s teachers; it’s lawyers. I’m not talking about rape, but I’m talking about the people who had been grabbed in pubs or their breasts had been fondled by somebody they didn’t know or they’d had someone shove a hand up their skirt. For too long, you really did go, ‘Oh, this is just normal.’ It’s terrifying that was our response.
Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
Charles Bukowski, Slouching Toward Nirvana (via wordsnquotes)
“People like you don’t get to insult people like me. You get to be eternally grateful. You’ve got quite a way with women. Take a look at this face, a picture of disappointment and disgust. This is the look that every woman you’ll ever know will come to share. This is what the next forty years of your life will look like.“
I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what’s gonna happen or, who I’m gonna meet, where I’m gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life’s a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You don’t know what hand you’re gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you… to make each day count

You wait a moment, Doctor. Let’s get it right. I’ve got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never, ever eat pears! Remember, hate is always foolish. and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. Oh, and you mustn’t tell anyone your name. No one would understand it, anyway.
With your hair down, Drina? It is shocking.
I can handle the craziness some of the time, maybe most of the time. But I know I can’t handle it all of the time.

Your father’s speech brings real tears to the eyes.
The conviction in his face when he is saying this is beautiful. Even though he is paraphrasing you can see he actually fully endorses the sentiment. Precious.
It’s in the shift of his brow. You can always judge his sincerity by how much he leads his word with the tilt of his head forward and the seriousness exuded by his brow.
