"Cheer up, girls. You'll be the veterans of a bank robbery." "You're all right. You won't fuck with me will, ya'?" "ATTICA! ATTICA!" "Look, mom. I'm a fuck-up and an outcast and that's it.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking when I first saw the quote. I thought it over though, and it made more sense...who better than someone with firsthand knowledge and experience with the ugliness of war and the suffering it causes to speak on it.
Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure." -H.L. Mencken, writer, editor, and critic (1880-1956)
"Somebody said,"It was easy in my life." Somebody told me,"I have made it in my life." Try to understand. You'll find that you're readin' me wrong. My patience comes and goes, but my livin' has got to go on. And if you think it's easy, it's only cos' you ain't me. And I ain't you. There's a hell of a difference between the two." Livin In The Life/Go For Your Guns- The Iseley Brothers Go For Your Guns-1977 "Ya'll shoot your best shot. Keep on livin'! Yeeaahh!"
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman(R. Lee Ermey): "THIS IS MY RIFLE! THIS IS MY GUN!" Parris Island Recruits: "THIS IS FOR FIGHTING! THIS IS FOR FUN!" Full Metal Jacket
"You can get just so much from a good thing. You can linger too long in your dreams. Say good-bye to the oldies-but-goodies. Cuz' the good old days weren't always good. And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems." Billy Joel Keeping The Faith An Innocent Man 1983
“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive" -Jack London.
"Failure is always momentary." Carl Denham(Jack Black) "Actors. Travel the world, but all they ever see is a mirror." Jack Driscoll(Adrien Brody) "Hey, pal. Hey, wake up. Heroes don't look like me. Not in the real world. In the real world, they got bad teeth, a bald spot and a beer gut. I'm just an actor with a gun whose lost his motivation. Be seeing you." Bruce Baxter(Kyle Chandler) "Beautiful." Ann Darrow(Noami Watts) King Kong- 2005
