98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.
This guy is so… awesome. Amazing. Inspiring.

“Leonardo DiCaprio is probably, I think, our finest actor since Marlon Brando.” - Mia Farrow
“You think that because he doesn’t love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn’t love you anymore that he is right - that his judgement and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don’t. It’s a bad word, ‘belong’. Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldnt be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love the mountain. They circle all around it; sometimes you can’t even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through because the clouds let him; they don’t wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can’t own a human being. You can’t lose what you don’t own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don’t, do you? And neither does he. You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself.”
- Toni Morrison (Born February 18, 1931)
“She can act opposite muppets, and Meryl Streeps, and Joaquin Phoenixes, that’s no easy task. Phil Hoffmans, Clint Eastwoods, Leo Dicaprios, and Marky Wahlbergs. Directors are lined up around the block to work with her.” - Paul Thomas Anderson
Awesome.
Man, Christopher Waltz is such a good actor that I’m not sure if I admire him or I’m in love with him. I knew he was going to get more projects after Inglorious Basterds, but didn’t expect his turn in Django Unchained. He was the best part of that movie. The very best.
