Every piece of this is man's bullshit. They call this war "a cloud over the land" but they made the weather and then they stand in the rain and say "Shit, it's raining!".
“If you could see my inside, or whatever you want to name it; my spirit, that's what I fear. I think I'm ruined. They kept trying to put me in the ground but I wasn't ready. But if I had... if I had goodness, I lost it. If I had anything tender in me, I shot it dead! How could I write to you after what I'd done? What I'd seen?”
“- Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place.
- Ada Monroe: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments.
- Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real.”“He's so full of manure, that man! We could lay him in the dirt and grow another one just like him.”

- Inman: I will not shoot you, but nor am I walking down that mountain looking over my shoulder for you.
- Bosie: That's what you call a conundrum. I tell you what I've got on my side.
- Inman: What have you got on your side?
- Bosie: The confidence of youth.”“I can talk about farming in Latin. I can read French. I can lace up a corset, God knows. I can name the principal rivers in Europe, just don't ask me to name one stream in this county! I can embroider but I can't darn! I can arrange cut flowers but I can't grow them! If a thing has a function, if I might do something with it, then it wasn't...” (continue)(continue reading)
“See, I think there's a plan. There's a design for each and every one of us. You look at nature. Bird flies somewhere, picks up a seed, shits the seed out, plant grows. Bird's got a job, shit's got a job, seed's got a job. And you've got a job.”
“I imagine God is weary of being called down on both sides of an argument.”
“Just so you know, you're not eating inside. Number one: they hang people 'round here for taking in deserters. Number two: even if they gave out prizes you'd still eat outside.”
