"You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people’s maps will be the same." ― Mary Schmich Topic(s): Movies More From Mary Schmich "I couldn’t have foreseen all the good things that have followed my mother’s death. The renewed energy, the surprising sweetness of grief. The tenderness I feel for strangers on walkers. The deeper love I have for my siblings and friends. The desire to play the mandolin. The gift of a visitation." "For some Chicago expats, food is the medicine that blunts the pain of separation." "The movies we love and admire are to some extent a function of who we are when we see them." More In Movies "Basically, there’s not enough sex in movies, that’s it. I’m trying to say it, people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural, guns are not."― Zoe Saldana "You’ve got all these books on self help, getting to know yourself, doing the right thing, eating the so-called right foods, even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society."― Samantha Morton "Most movies, once the action starts there’s no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there’s just explosions until the end."― John Cusack
