More From David O. Russell

The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.
Christian Religious Buddhist
Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
We cannot choose how many years we will live, but we can choose how much life those years will have. we cannot control the beauty of our face, but we can control the expression on it. we cannot control life's difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. we cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. too seldom we choose to control what we can ... our attitude.

In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression. male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. a man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. the main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.

Pride is allowed to have an element of worry, especially when you are a mother.
Mother Pride Worry
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.
