Josh Brolin posted a lengthy viral quote about the unity America felt on Sept. 12. He added, "My ego wants to write its own thing. So I start my hunt for the right photo. The one that's going to scratch at your softest self. I begin to think about where I was and what I thought was happening to the world, and how feral I became in wanting to protect my family. Then I came across the below and it stripped all that ego away and I felt — and I imagined all those terrified people, and all the families and extended tentacles affected by that horrific day. And I remembered that it's not about me, but it is about us. It's all about us. Us is the only thing that prevails."
