Narcos, 2015

Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Why don't you tell
me that "if the girl
had been worth
having, she'd have
waited for you"? No,
sir, the girl really
worth having won't
wait for anybody.

Elsie De Wolfe

I am going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life.

The Joker

Why should I apologize for the monster I’ve become? No one ever apologized for making me this way.

William Chapman

I’ll be anything you want me to be, as long as I can still be me.

Brigitte Nicole

Be with someone who is proud of you, someone you can laugh with, someone who listens to you, understands you, who treats you well and makes you a priority.

"Wait For It" - Hamilton the Musical

Death doesn't discriminate
between the sinners and the saints,
it takes and it takes and it takes
and we keep living anyway.
We rise and we fall
and we break
and we make our mistakes.
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
when everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it.
I'm willing to wait for it.
Wait for it.

I'm not falling behind or running late.

I'm not standing still,
I am lying in wait.

when the world ends I want to scream
into the chaos that I loved you more
than anything...
...in hopes that the sound will echo
and continue to exist after everything
stops

A Beautiful Mind, 2001

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.

-John Nash

I will fight for you but I will not compete.

"The Voice of the Body" by Alexander Lowen

It is a grave injustice to a child or adult to insist that they stop crying. One can comfort a person who is crying which enables him to relax and makes further crying unnecessary; but to humiliate a crying child is to increase his pain, and augment his rigidity. We stop other people from crying because we cannot stand the sounds and movements of their bodies. It threatens our own rigidity. It induces similar feelings in ourselves which we dare not express and it evokes a resonance in our own bodies which we resist.

"Bad Behavior" by Mary Gaitskill

She was delicately morbid in all her gestures, sensitive, arrogant, vulnerable to flattery. She veered between extravagant outbursts of opinion and sudden, uncertain halts, during which she seemed to look to him for approval. She was in love with the idea of intelligence, and she overestimated her own. Her sense of the world, though she presented it aggressively, could be, he sensed, snatched out from under her with little or no trouble.

Iain Thomas

And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, 'Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you.'
