Detachment

Just screened an incredibly gritty film "Detachment," with Adrien Brody and Christina Hendricks, for a piece I'm writing for the Daily News. A few quotes jumped out and struck a chord with me.

"To deliberately believe in lies while knowing they're false - that's doublespeak." This is also why we read, to cultivate our own beliefs.

"It is easy to be callous. It takes courage and character to care."

"Do you see me?"

"Some days, we have limited space for others."

"No one wants to think about the struggle it takes to be somebody."

"We guide our young so they don't become insignificant."
