"This is what's unrealistic. It's unrealistic for a man with a fine mind to go on working year after year at a job he can't stand. Coming home to a place he can't stand, to a wife who's equally unable to stand the same things. And you know what the worst part of it is? Our whole existence here is based on this great premise that we're special. They we're superior to the whole thing. But we're not. We're just like everyone else! We bought into the same, ridiculous delusion. That we have to resign from life and settle down the moment we have children. And we've been punishing each other for it." - Revolutionary Road
"Don't you see? That's the whole idea! You'll be able to do what you should have been allowed to do seven years ago, you'll have the time.

And when you figure it out, you'll have the time and the freedom, to start doing." - Revolutionary Road
