I heart David Mamet
"Shut the fuck up!"5 bill-star, off the chart article by David Mamet:
- David Mamet, his NPR epiphany
I'm not worthy of a summary. Read it. But here's my favorite sentence in the QOTD below.
QOTD2
"And, I wondered, how could I have spent decades thinking that I thought everything was always wrong at the same time that I thought I thought that people were basically good at heart?"I must admit I've rarely listened to NPR. I can't understand the affectation in the voices of anyone on NPR. It's bizarre. I guess if you listen to it long enough... I'll pass, thanks. I'd love to pass on paying for the dump, but that's a different can of worms.
- David Mamet, on the conflict between his core belief that people are good and an everything sucks" liberal philosophy
Now, go watch Mamet's finest work, "Glengarry Glen Ross".
Rating: 5 bill-stars.
Glengarry has a memorable quotes list that rivals "The Grail".
It might be an all-time top 10... I'd have to do the list to be sure.
coffee is for closers only... yow, bill
