Quote context

[...]

- But... loving someone, and being loved, means so much to me.

- I always make fun of it and stuff, but isn't everything we dream in life a way to be loved a little more?

- Yeah. I don't know. Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes that feels really close. But then other times, it seems silly, like it would, ruin my whole life.

- And it's not just a fear of commitment, or that I'm incapable of caring or loving, because... I can.

- It's just that... if I'm totally honest with myself, I think I'd rather die knowing that I was really good at something, that I had excelled in some way. You know? Than that I'd just been in a nice, caring relationship.

- Yeah. But I had worked for this older man, and once he told me that he had spent all of his life thinking about his career and his work.

- And he was 52, and it suddenly struck him that he had never really given anything of himself. His life was for no one and nothing.

- He was almost crying saying that.

- You know, I believe if there's any kind of God, it wouldn't be in any of us... Not you or me. But just this little space in between.

- If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something.

- I know. It's almost impossible to succeed. But... who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.
