QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Spike Lee does Aaron Copland

Spike Lee's another one like Kanye (though I don't think he's crazy.) Gets dismissed a lot because he's opinionated and sometimes rude. But I think he's one of the greatest American directors--emphasis on the American. Like a Frank Capra and Aaron Copland. He looks at his country and gets at the soul of the thing, which is why he's one of the few people who can take Copland from the frontier to the basketball court and it makes sense.

"John Henry"
