Quote of the Week - Flaubert

"Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work" 

 - Gustave Flaubert

This seems like such great advice!  It's a wonder so few follow it!

Strive for some balance this week!

(Did you know there is a movie called Equilibrium with Christian Bale, Taye Diggs, Emily Watson, and Sean Bean and it's Sci Fi?  Me, neither!  Ah the magic of googling images....)

Christian Bale may be the opposite of Flaubert's quote.  Hm.

Quote of the Week - Chopra

"The shadow exerts its power by making the darkness seem like the light."

- Deepak Chopra

Found this one to be interesting.  It is certainly true of a kind of movie villain that we fall for - say Jack Nicholson's and Heath Ledger's Jokers.  We know they are bad, but they are so much more interesting than the good guys. I mean who do you want to hang out with -- fake gravelly-voiced Christian Bale or Michael Keaton, or somebody who knows how to make you laugh?  Bruce Wayne is sure rich, but b-o-r-i-n-g.  As was the 6-minute Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer.  But that's just me.  The boys all seemed to like it.
