No World But This One: The Films of Terrence Malick
"That fort is not the world. The river leads back there. It leads onward too . . . deeper . . . into the wild. Start over. Exchange this false life for a true one . . ." —The New World, 2005
"What is this great evil? How did it steal into the world? From what seed, what root did it spring? Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Robbing us of light and life. Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known." —The Thin Red Line, 1998
"Nobody's perfect. There was never a perfect person around. You just got half-devil and half-angel in ya. She promised herself she'd lead a good life from now on. She blamed it all on herself . . . She didn't care if she was happy or not. She just wanted to make up for what she did wrong . . ." —Days of Heaven, 1978
"Sometimes I wished I could fall asleep and be taken off to some magical land . . ." —Badlands, 1973
