    Paul Thomas Anderson + Phillip Seymour Hoffman + Joaquin Phoenix + Johnny mf Greenwood, an equation for movie magic.

    I love David Lynch the artist but I think I love David Lynch the philosopher even more. This was a man with great personal philosophy.

He knew what it meant to be alive! So much humanity in the surrealism he explored and so much left to learn from him 💙
