“— Todd, what good is a $90.000 Benz if there’s not only not enough gas in the tank, but the streets and the highways are decaying to the point of becoming Third World? (…) Rome is burning, son, and the problem is not with the people who started it – they’re past irredeemable. The problem’s with us – all of us – who do nothing, who just fiddle, who try to manoeuvre around the edges of the flame. And I’ll tell you something, there are people out there, day to day, all over the world that are fighting to make things better.
— You think it’s better to try and fail than failing to try, right?
— Yeah.
— But what it’s the difference if you end up in the same place?
— … At least you did something.”
Lions for Lambs (2007)
