2. “ I think that the message behind this movie is that revenge — and avenging people — it won’t make anything easier. It’s not going to make anything better. It’s not going to give you that salvation.

   It’s never too late to kind of go back and live again… to dream again… even though you think everything is destroyed. I think it’s a beautiful message.

3. Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt): (sarcastically) “Ah yes, we’re all the same. We’re all equal… Next he’ll be telling us we’re a community, we’re one people.”

   Watched the movie “Killing Them Softly” last night. Definitely not a crowd-pleasing movie (I could tell the popcorn-going audience mostly hated it or were confused), but I thought it was a good one especially because the character politics throughout.

   The closing lines of Brad Pitt’s character, hitman Jackie Cogan, about the business-like politics of American people’s morals are powerful and poignant.

   [SPOILERS]

   President Obama (on TV): “…to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one…

   Driver: “You hear that line? Line’s for you.”

   Jackie Cogan: “Don’t make me laugh. One people. It’s a myth created by Thomas Jefferson.”

   Driver: “Oh, so now you’re going to have a go at Jefferson, huh?”

   Jackie Cogan: “My friend, Thomas Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote the words “All men are created equal”, words he clearly didn’t believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery.

   He’s a rich white snob who’s sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So, yeah, he writes some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl.

   This guy wants to tell me we’re living in a community? Don’t make me laugh. I’m living in America, and in America you’re on your own. America’s not a country. It’s just a business. 

   Now fuckin’ pay me.”

   Joan Rivers gives Louis C.K. a pep talk on Louie.

   I love this episode.

   “Listen. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but… it doesn’t get better. You get better. Think it’s been easy? I’ve gone up, I’ve gone down, I’ve been bankrupt, I’ve been broke. But you do it, and you do it because… because we love it more than anything else. That’s why you’re doing it. If you want a real job, honey, there are a million things you can do, but what we do is not a job. Sounds so stupid. What we do… is a calling, my dear. We make people happy. It’s a calling.”

13. > The Sketchbook of Susan Kare, the Artist Who Gave Computing a Human Face

    

    [when asked she had any feeling at the time that the work she was doing at Apple 30 years ago would be so pervasively influential]

    “You can set out to make a painting, but you can’t set out to make a great painting. If you look at that blank canvas and say, ‘Now I’m going to create a masterpiece’ — that’s just foolhardy. You just have to make the best painting you can, and if you’re lucky, people will get the message.”

    -Susan Kare artist and graphic designer who made many of the UI elements for Apple’s Macintosh
