‘‘The consumer expects a reward for the slightest effort or better, for no effort at all. He cares only about what he gets from the world, not about what he might add to it. Living on the surface, jumping from thing to thing, his energy is diffused, like milk spreading across a tabletop. He makes no impact on the world; when his time on earth is over, it's as if he never lived.

The creator won't accept that fate. Everything he does is with the intention of making an impact on the world. His code ensures this: 

He doesn't accept the world as he finds it; he brings things into the world that aren't already there. He doesn't follow the herd; he sets his own course. He ignores the reactions of others. He resists superficial distractions. He remains focused on his goals even if he has to sacrifice his immediate gratification. ’’

The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971)

‘‘As strange as it might seem, the “best you,” the highest version of yourself, is only present when you’re in this ongoing partnership with your Shadow. This is the real meaning of the term Higher Self. Its secret is that the Higher Self is the combination of two opposites, you and your Shadow. If this partnership falls apart—or is never formed—you end up in an unbalanced state. On one hand, the Shadow takes over and overwhelms you with its tendencies toward inferiority, weakness, and depression. ...On the other hand, you banish the Shadow completely and live a superficial life, craving the approval of others and unable to express yourself deeply. It’s common to swing from one of these extremes to the other without ever putting the two pieces together. Tragically, most people think these are their only two choices. But creating a balanced relationship with the Shadow isn’t one choice or the other, it’s a process.’’

Married to the Mob (1988). A mobster's wife hates her lifestyle, but gets a chance to change it when her husband is killed - if the Long Island mob and the FBI let her.

Man, this was just way more fun than it had any right to be. Not really a comedy, but not-not a comedy either, it balances subterfuge hijinks and inspector gadget-esque set-ups with genuine explorations of the limited options available to women in oppressive dynamics. Plus, y'know, Michelle Pfeiffer, my beloved. 8/10.
