Keeping in mind

Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.

- A. Eleanor Roosevelt

Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well.

- Andy Dufresne

It doesn’t require this kind of mythological, screaming, chaps-wearing, bullhorn thing. It’s just about organization and communication. You can have fun doing it and be kind (?) and get it done.

- Paul Thomas Anderson on what makes a movie (research) great
