“But this is what I know about people getting ready to walk of the edge of their own lives: they want someone to know how they got there. Maybe they want to know that when they dissolve into earth and water, that last fragment will be saved, held in some corner of someone's mind; or maybe all they want is a chance to dump it pulsing and bloody into someone else's hands, so it won't weigh them down on the journey. They want to leave their stories behind. No one in all the world knows that better than I do.” PeopleKnowsWorldWantMindStoriesHandsEarthLastsWaterChanceWalksBehindsKnow HowJourneyReadyEdgesCornersSavedBloodyFragmentsDump Author:Tana French

“Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.” MayHas BeensTwoStoriesFilmThreeHoursLinesWalksVisionGraceMinutesSpecialEffectsSurpriseLove StoryAdmireOriginalityPearlsHarborsDecemberStunningSpecial EffectsTrianglesBanalityLove TriangleQuotingRedundantCenterpiecesSurprise AttacksDecember 7December 7 1941 Author:Roger Ebert

“We underestimate teenagers at our peril. Even the dismissive thing out on the street--look at what they're wearing. Then we'll hear stories about how a toddler fell on the tracks, and it's often a teenager who comes to the rescue and walks away because he or she doesn't want any credit. I recognize it because I've written books for teenagers--it's basically that they feel things more than adults do. They want things more than you think. They want things with greater depth than you think they do. Teenagers have got a lot of soul that adults have forgotten they have within themselves.” ThinkingWantFeelsLooksBookSoulStoriesWalksGreaterWrittenStreetsAdultsDepthForgottenTrackCreditTeenagerRescueUnderestimatePerilToddler Author:Markus Zusak
