Innocent Prisoner

“An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet...or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.”
Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler

Where I've Been

Sentimentality

“Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty, the inability to feel; the wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray his aversion to experience, his fear of life, his arid heart; and it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent inhumanity, the mask of cruelty.”
James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son

For example:

Ever since I set my Pandora to play the Arch Enemy channel, I have begun to notice that the messages coming from Death Metal are not all Satanic and Cannibalistic anymore. A lot of my new favorites are just awesome and powerful without resorting to the macabre or the sick. I like this.

Roger Ebert Reviewed My Video




"There's a lot of love in that video."

UPDATE: the original Ebert blog was deleted and not saved on the Wayback Machine after he died. If you want to read what I was commenting on it's called "Trying to get a word in edgewise."
