About Me
"This is the United States of America, we will liberate the shit out of you."
"We call him Smile because he never does."
- Peco, Ping Pong (2002)
"And in the end, of course, a true war story is never about war. It's about sunlight. It's about the special way that dawn spreads out on a river when you know you must cross the river and march into the mountains and do things you are afraid to do. It's about love and memory. It's about sorrow. It's about sisters who never write back and people who never listen."
- Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried (1990)
"What is finished, is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It's the individual that's finished. It's the single, solitary human being that's finished. It's every single one of you out there that's finished, because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. This is a nation of two-hundred some-odd million transistorized, deodorized, whiter-than-white, steel-belted bodies; totally unnecessary as human beings, and as replaceable as piston rods."
- Howard Beale, Network (1976)
