• This is the law of prosperity: When apparent adversity comes, be not cast down by it, but make the best of it, and always look forward for better things, for conditions more prosperous. To hold yourself in this attitude of mind is to set into operation subtle, silent, and irresistible forces that sooner or later will actualize in material form that which is today merely an idea. But ideas have occult power, and ideas, when rightly planted and rightly tended, are the seeds that actualize material conditions.

If there's no jar in the new reading, well and good - that's sufficient for me.

• I try to write things that can't be made into movies. My novels have thwarted many attempts to film them and I think that was true of the essay, too.

So taking that narrow little cast of characters and expanding it out, that was what was exciting about the project for me.
