More From Jean-Jacques Rousseau

If god causes man to be sick, sickness must be good, and its opposite, health, must be evil, for all that he makes is good and will stand forever. if the transgression of god's law produces sickness, it is right to be sick; and we cannot if we would, and should not if we could, annul the decrees of wisdom. it is the transgression of a belief of mortal mind, not of a law of matter nor of divine mind, which causes the belief of sickness. the remedy is truth, not matter,--the truth that disease is unreal.

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. he must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. we must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

I live in new york city, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble. so there's no way for me to properly conceive of the attention that the movie gets in a way that doesn't make me confused.
