France, for example, loves at the same time history and the drama, because the one explores the vast destinies of humanity, and the other the individual lot of man.

On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

In the final analysis, it is your decision to make, but it doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to move.
