It's the seed of life we carry about with us like our skeletons, each one of us unconsciously pregnant with desirable villa residences. There's no escape. As individuals we simply do not exist. We are just potential home builders, beavers, and ants. How do we come into being? What is birth?

Benjamin Franklin

Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it.

William Shenstone

I, for one, am tired of seeing movies about men damaging each other.

Vera Farmiga

If you expect nothing, you're apt to be surprised. You'll get it.
