"Fantasy is toxic: the private cruelty and the world war both have their start in the heated brain." ― Elizabeth Bowen Topic(s): War More From Elizabeth Bowen "Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies." "Education is not so important as people think." "Intimacies between women often go backwards, beginning in revelations and ending in small talk." More In War "With acting, you wanna see if you can get into trouble without knowing how you’re gonna get out of it. It’s like the exact opposite of war, where you need an exit strategy. When you’re acting, you should get all the way into trouble with no exit strategy, and have the cameras rolling."― John Cusack "Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920’s and 1930’s when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother’s keeper."― Hubert H. Humphrey "A group of us started a community center in Santa Monica. We’ve tried different programs, and three have worked really well. A poetry group. Once a week we visit Venice High and talk to girls at risk."― Lisa Bonet
