"Prisons Make Us Safer": And 20 Other Myths about Mass Incarceration

“When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you.”

“Whereas story is processed in the mind in a straightforward manner, poetry bypasses rational thought and goes straight to the limbic system and lights it up like a brushfire. It's the crack cocaine of the literary world.”
― First Among Sequels

“I will tell you something about stories . . . They aren't just entertainment. Don't be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death.”

“Imagination is the politics of dreams; imagination turns every word into a bottle rocket. . . . Imagine every day is Independence Day and save us from traveling the river changed; save us from hitchhiking the long road home. Imagine an escape. Imagine that your own shadow on the wall is a perfect door. Imagine a song stronger than penicillin. Imagine a spring with water that mends broken bones. Imagine a drum which wraps itself around your heart. Imagine a story that puts wood in the fireplace.”
― The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
― The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
“That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.”

Enjoy,

I see you're put a lot of these cinema books in your to-read list. Upcoming projects or just for fun?
