How does one [I] become a great screenwriter (as I plan to do by reading hundreds of solid scripts) if I can't find a hundred scripts in the first place?

"My doctor is such a brilliant man. Yeah, I should definitely take his opinion on every subject. He, for instance, thinks I should bathe in milk to improve my fertility. My local supermarket is beginning to worry!"
the "bronze age goat herders" view of ancient religious texts - that they were stupid people compared to modern enlightenment - is very funny considering that bronze age peoples navigated by the stars, established agricultural systems, discovered writing and how to make bricks
If GRRM ever finishes this series, someone should place a copy in my grave. I badly want to know what he intended for Sansa (and exactly how). I believe it's on the same level as Egwene becoming the Amyrilin Seat.
The ‘adult’ state of mind we believed in as children doesn’t exist. Later in life, we learn it’s a persona we create. Mentally, we’re all just grown children who take it day by day, year after year, just as lost as the rest of us.

Talking about work ethics and productivity, I understand theory but I prefer reality. I do not know one smoker who has a poor work ethics. The largely smoking society have a stronger work ethics than our non-smoking society, anyway. They are mentally fitter than us if this is the society our mental fitness can produce.
And it's laughably dishonest. The first paragraph affirms the risk of smoking and insists weed is just one of them. The second affirms again the risk of smoking, then claims that it's not 100% certain ("You MIGHT survive jumping off a bridge so you should do it").
