Reply to comment by GoodDecision in I Like Killing Flies (2004) profound and profane philosophies from an iconic New York restauranteur as he navigates gentrification in his neighborhood [1:18:14] by maxkmiller

I quote this movie and that man at least once a month. Been doing it for nearly 10 years. I am so bummed I didn’t get to eat a meal he cooked before he passed. This movie is superb

"The first duty of everybody in life is to realize that they're a piece of shit..."

This whole diatribe fundamentally changed my outlook on things to an extent. And for the best. The man was a philosopher.

I had to clip just this scene because I think it's the most resonant with people by far
