One Thin Line

DateSaturday, April 9, 2011 at 2:10PM

Characters by Kyoko Uchida

In Japanese, the difference between suffering and happiness is one thin line.

And these are some thin lines from the film "The Thin Red Line," written by James Jones and directed by absolute genius Terrence Malick:

"How did we lose the good that was given to us? What keeps us from reaching out and touching the glory?"

"Maybe all men got one big soul everybody's a part of: all faces of the same man."

"How do we get to those other shores, to those blue hills? Love. Where does it come from? Who lit this flame in us? A war can put it out, conquer it."

"The world is a box, a moving box. They want you dead or in their line. Only one thing a man can do: find something that's his and make an island for himself. If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack. A glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours."
