"change moves in spirals, not circles. for example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. but everytime that happens, what do you get? you get a new day. you get a new one. when you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do that you're a little bit different then the one before. we're always changing. and its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can." -half nelson

Television:

west wing, six feet, the sopranos, and scrubs...tv shows on dvd are the new black

Books:

“years later he’d stood in the charred ruins of a library where blackened books lay in pools of water. shelves tipped over. some rage at the lies arranged in their thousands row ... he picked up one of the books and thumbed through the heavy bloated pages. he’d not have thought the value of the smallest thing predicated on a world to come. it surprised him. that the space which these things occupied was itself an expectation. he let the book fall and took a last look around and made his way out into the cold gray light.” -the road

Heroes:
