Try stuff. Put plants in your room even if you aren’t the best at caring for them. Attempt that dessert recipe even if it turns out ugly. Listen to that music you’ve been meaning to try for a while. The world is full of infinite sources of goodness and the best thing to do it to try and find as many as possible.

Barbara Stanwyck, 1941

“I know very little about the simple life. I’m a product of crowded places and jammed-up emotions, where right and wrong weren’t always clearly defined and life wasn’t always sweet, but it was life.”

“I don’t know if love is the proof of God’s existance or if it’s God itself.”

“Its initial inspiration, appropriately enough, was the old Twilight Zone episode ‘Mirror Image’,” which Peele saw as a kid. In it, a woman encounters her duplicate in a bus station and becomes convinced it arrived from a parallel universe, bent on replacing her. “It’s terrifying, beautiful, really elegant storytelling, and it opens up a world. It opens up your imagination.”

– Jordan Peele on inspiration for his movie “Us”

“You know how they say the dead watch over the living? I’ve thought about that a lot. Not just because Lewis was a medium. I don’t know what that means. For me, he was someone deeply intuitive of others. He understood things that went unspoken. He did. Maybe because he knew he was going to die. What I mean is, I felt that he saw things which I didn’t. Maybe you do too.”
