Daily dialogue — June 29, 2009
“Everything a lie. Everything you hear, everything you see. So much to spew out. They just keep coming, one after another. You’re in a box. A moving box. They want you dead, or in their lie… There’s only one thing a man can do — find something that’s his, and make an island for himself. If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.”
— First Sgt. Edward Welsh (Sean Penn), The Thin Red Line (1998), screenplay by Terrence Malick, based on the novel by James Jones
