“Back before 'Brick,' I wrote a short film that I never ended up shooting: hit men in the present who work for a mob in the future who send their victims back in time. A guy is sent his future self, he lets him run, and the whole short was them chasing each other across the city. That sat in a drawer for 10 years until after I made 'Brothers Bloom.” MenYearsMadeSelfWholeRunningFilmGuyCitiesBrotherVictimShootingSatChasingBricksDrawersBack In TimeShort FilmsFuture Self Author:Rian Johnson
“The serenity produced by the contemplation and philosophy of nature is the only remedy for prejudice, superstition, and inordinate self-importance, teaching us that we are all a part of Nature herself, strengthening the bond of sympathy which should exist between ourselves and our brother man. . .” MenShouldSelfPhilosophyNatureTeachingBrotherImportancePrejudiceContemplationSuperstitionsRemedySerenityStrengtheningSelf-importance Author:Luther Burbank

“The forgiveness of God is gratuitous liberation from guilt. Paradoxically, the conviction of personal sinfulness becomes the occasion of encounter with the merciful love of the redeeming God. "There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repenting..." (Luke 15:7). In his brokenness, the repentant prodigal knew an intimacy with his father that his sinless, self-righteous brother would never know.” KnowsSelfFatherHeavenBrotherGuiltConvictionOccasionsIntimacyLiberationEncountersSinnerRejoiceRighteousRepentMercifulBrokennessLukeSelf RighteousRedeemingProdigalsSinfulness Book:The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out Source: The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out
“Through the process of specifically writing this memoir, there was so much reckoning that I had to do. It was very difficult. It doesn't erase anything that happened, but I think that it was healthy for me to do it. The teenage self-loathing that I suffered from all of a sudden found itself turned into rapids with my grief after my brother died. I turned it inwards. In the same way that my mom processes her grief and her problems. This project, as a memoir, has helped me funnel it outwards.” ThinkingWayWritingSelfProblemFoundProcessDifficultGriefHappenedBrotherMomHealthyProjectsDiedMy MomMemoirMy BrotherTeenageRapidsEraseLoathingSelf LoathingReckoningBrother DiedMy Brother Died Author:Jesmyn Ward

“As a warning to parents, I mention that my father preferred me to my brother, which was very injurious to both of us.
