"In this world, a man, himself, is nothing"...
Edited on Thu Sep-06-07 02:34 PM by demoleft
The Thin Red Line (movie released 1998).

Two soldiers in the Second W.W., the eve of a deadly fight, a mutual spiritual exchange:

First Sgt. Edward Welsh: In this world, a man, himself, is nothing. And there ain't no world but this one.
Private Witt: There you're wrong, Top. I've seen another world.
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: Then you see things I've never seen.

Well I'm with Private Witt: I've seen another world, too.
What about you, DUers?

1. ....I dream of things that never were, and ask why not
There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not
