Even though I have a nice house, nice family, the rest of my generation is still in South Central L.A. My cousins, my brothers, my sisters, they don't wanna move out. They don't want to and they don't have the means to sustain it. That's where my heart is and that's what I think about all the time.

Don't wish it were easier, wish you were better.

Jim Rohn

Man is not born to solve the problem of the universe, but to find out what he has to do; and to restrain himself within the limits of his comprehension.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I'm a method writer. In order to write about the emotion, I have to experience it. I get physically tired and exhausted, devoting hours and hours and hours to it.

Sherman Alexie

I want a family someday and I know that I have to let love in to create that and I think there is someone out there for me, but I'm not on some crazy hunt for that right now.

Leighton Meester

Jon Bernthal

I think that all the anger and cynicism comes from suppressing things that we always wanted.

John Lee Hancock

Ring Lardner

E. M. Cioran

Nothing is more humiliating than to see idiots succeed in enterprises we have failed in.

Gustave Flaubert

I grew up in a family where the internalized understanding was that the kids were going to grow up into a better world. I worry, because I don't think my kids are going to have that. The world is very scary. The world would be scary without the choices the current administration made, but they just exacerbated it. And it ticks me off. I want my kids to have a good life.

Bradley Whitford

Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.

Benjamin Franklin

The beauty of it is when you can just show up and hit the notes.

John Lone
