Nathan: Do you guys ever want to be in charge? Be the boss? Get all the credit?
Coach Beard: You know, we used to believe that trees competed with each other for light. Suzanne Simard's field work challenged that perception, and now we now realize that the forest is a socialist community. Trees work in harmony to share the sunlight.

Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar.
Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two.
Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly.
Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself.
Enjoy the ride.

The fallacy is that it’s up to the steamroller.
It is up to the object whether it will be flattened,
or not.

There's a fine line between stalking and romance...
Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart.
As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person.
It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right?
It’s a dance. It’s a balance."
Oppenheimer, when he went into Truman's office with Dean Acheson, said to the latter, wringing his hands: "I have blood on my hands".
Truman later said to Acheson: "Never bring that fucking cretin in here agian. He didn't drop the bomb. I did. That kind of weepiness makes me sick"
