"My writing is like the beating of my heart. My constant erection!" The movie Quills, Geoffrey Rush as the imprisoned Marquis De Sade. There are more I loved from that movie, but that was the most resonant and enduring.

i found this quote to be very powerful today:

The algorithm reads that as, ‘Oh, this is popular; people want more of it.'
