“In order to like someone you don't necessarily need to agree with them. It's part of our nature to want to connect.” Quote by Lynne McTaggart
“Sciences have the view of looking at the world as individual pieces and this has been going on now for about 300 years. Then we have the Darwinian myths that life is a struggle to survive. However all life is not about competition but about striving for wholeness. When we compete we are weak, and when we work together we are strong. My hope is that this will become common knowledge someday because this will transcend religion as we know it. We just need to start focusing on the commonalities of religion.” WorldTogetherIndividualStrongCommonStruggleWeakCompetitionStriveMythSomedayWorking TogetherWholenessCommonalityLife Is A Struggle Author:Lynne McTaggart
“We are born to give; even though we are indoctrinated throughout our lives differently this simply is not what science tells us. It does seem that our natural state is to help others so I guess our goal is to find that natural state within ourselves.” GivingHelpingGoalNaturalHelping Others Author:Lynne McTaggart
“I really think that parenthood cracks you open, which sounds so vague, but it is a different type of vulnerability. That's the bottom line. There isn't a second that I'm with my daughter that I don't appreciate every moment we have. All you want to do is protect her and create the best bubble possible for her to view the world.” ThinkingWorldDifferentMomentsProtectDaughterAppreciateBottomVulnerabilityMy DaughterParenthoodBubbles Author:Jeremiah Brent

“The beautiful gift of my husband is that he saw me the way I've always wanted to be seen and there's something really powerful to that. When you find true love I really believe that that's what it is at its core. He makes me want to be a better person, but then he also sees me and reminds me that I am a good person.” BelieveBeautifulPowerfulHusbandMy HusbandGood PersonBetter PersonBeing A Better PersonReally Powerful Author:Jeremiah Brent

“I became obsessed with the true stuff, and that led to shaping 'The Way Back' screenplay somewhat toward a minimalist style, to avoid free-hanging moments, and to hold the music back, so it would never lead you to an emotion, and to try to make the emotions as real as I could.” TryingRealMomentsEmotionStyleObsessed Author:Peter Weir
“In 'The Way Back' survivors were all ordinary people, and that's the whole point, that's who I felt these people should be, and they shouldn't be that hero that stands out.” PeopleHeroSurvivorStanding OutOrdinary People Author:Peter Weir
“Casting is always critical but in this case, 'The Way Back', I was looking internationally to a degree for an interesting mix of gentlemen, Irish, Polish, Russian and American. Not many people had the qualifications, people who would play the game, particular to this industry. So I had to research amongst the cast. They had to be very very prepared as we had to start shooting as soon as we could, there wasn't any time to talk, and there would only be three or four takes.” PeopleInterestingGentleman Author:Peter Weir
