“There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar.”
—Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

“Far from being a science, mapmaking was still an exercise of fancy, or religious devotion, or fear of the unknown.”

“So what could’ve been conducted in a collegial atmosphere is now fucked into a cocked hat.”
This has got to be one of the more underrated lines of cinema history.

"Leave it to a child to shout what we've been whispering."
-R, The Burning World by Isaac Marion
this feels like such a raw line because it IS. kids only know how to communicate directly, if they are afraid they will ask you about exactly what it is they're afraid of. children often remind adults that it's okay to just communicate sometimes. there's not always a need to talk in circles and speak in riddles

“Little did we know that long autumn of 1932, as we blew tires and flung fan belts like lost garters down Highway 66, that somewhere ahead that motel, and that most peculiar chicken, were waiting.”

reaching an audience sure was easier in highschool. Maybe I should just corner my coworkers during lunch break 🤔

There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.

Thinking again about how Suzanne esentially subverted the "beloved famous man that is actually a horrible person in real life" with Finnick, who is the complete opposite of that.
Finnick has this whole image costructed around him by the people that abused him for years: the Capitol's darling, their golden boy, the sex symbol of Panem, the man that has countless lovers but leaves them constantly and doesn't look back etc. And you would expect, initially, to meet a man that retains at least a part of that persona in his day to day life. But Finnick doesn't, not even one bit.
You see instead a man that is deeply in love and completely devoted to the one woman he quite literally adores, a man that protects Mags, his old mentor and his mother figure, as much as he can, a man that wouldn't leave Johanna behind, a man that gathers whatever strenght he has left to speak publicly about the abuse inflicted upon him at the government's hands; the opposite of what the Capitol's media and reputation made him out to be.
