ETA: This is a scene from The House I Live In, a film on the American drug war and its effects on communities of color, education, the class disparity and the prison industrial complex. I cannot recommend this film highly enough.

"They call me Cat Man. I’ve normally got about three or four kittens in my jacket with me. There’s this empty lot in Brooklyn where this one cat keeps pumping out ten kittens every three months. She just won’t stop. She’s some sort of super cat. I carry them around and sell them for about $40 apiece."

Lies I’ve Told My 3 Year Old Recently Trees talk to each other at night. All fish are named either Lorna or Jack. Before your eyeballs fall out from watching too much TV, they get very loose. Tiny bears live in drain pipes. If you are very very quiet you can hear the clouds rub against the sky. The moon and the sun had a fight a long time ago. Everyone knows at least one secret language. When nobody is looking, I can fly. We are all held together by invisible threads. Books get lonely too. Sadness can be eaten. I will always be there.

"I’m a philosophy professor." "If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?" "Never make an exception of yourself." "What does that mean?" "People like to make exceptions of themselves. They hold other people to moral codes that they aren’t willing to follow themselves. For example, people tend to think that if they tell a lie, it’s because it was absolutely necessary. But if someone else tells a lie, it means they’re dishonest. So never make an exception of yourself. If you’re a thief, don’t complain about being robbed.”
