The United States of Leland - Reflections on Life, Love, and Loss
Albert T. Fitzgerald:
I recall when our lives were unusual and electric. When we burned with something close to fire. But now we sway to a different rhythm. Lives lived without meaning or even directed hope. The passage of time measured only by loss. Loss of a job, loss of a minivan...a son.
Mrs. Calderon:
You have to believe that life is more than the sum of its parts, kiddo.
Pearl Madison:
Just because what you did was wrong doesnt mean that giving up on your life is right.
Pearl Madison:
Love is when you can't get somebody out of your mind. When they are your first thought in the morning and your last thought at night. Maybe it's not in your heart but it is in your head.
Bengel:
You ever think the whole thing doesn't make sense? I mean, they take all this stuff away from you; freedom, girls and sunshine - because it's supposed to make it so when you get back on the outs you never wanna screw up again. All that really does is get you to thinking that you're... just so small. You know? Like you're this... this small thing that doesn't matter for anything. And by the time you do get out - you don't even feel like a human person anymore.
