"The mountain has left me feeling renewed, more content and positive than Iâ€™ve been for weeks, as if something has been given back after a long absence, as if my eyes have opened once again. For this time at least, Iâ€™ve let myself be rooted in the unshakable sanity of the senses, spared my mind the burden of too much thinking, turned myself outward to experience the world and inward to savor the pleasures it has given me."

-- Richard Nelson

But I feel like Jennifer Jason Leigh deserves one, maybe not just for Hateful Eight but for [Anomalisa] and everything. Like, I tried to watch Adaption again, that's rough!”
