You are young and sturdy. If I talk about war with you, you can throw Shakespeare to me and recite "Go to the battle together, dear friend", but you have never been in battle, and you have never tried to hold your close friend's head in your arms. Here, watching him take his last breath, staring at you, and asking you for help. Don't think that I know you. Maybe I can see you through "knowledge", but that's not you. Unless you are willing to talk about yourself, I don't know who you are.

Sean: [during a therapy session, after coming from the job interview with the NSA] Do you feel like you're alone, Will?
Will: [laughs] What?
Sean: Do you have a soul mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Somebody who challenges you.
Will: I have Chuckie.
Sean: You know Chuck; he's family. He'd lie down in fuckin' traffic for you. No, I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you - touches your soul.
Will: I got - I got...
Sean: Who?
Will: ...I got plenty.
Sean: Well, name them.
Will: Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Pope, Locke...
Sean: That's great. They're all dead.
Will: Not to me they're not.
Sean: Well, you don't have a lot of dialogue with them. You can't give back to them, Will.
Will: Well, not without some serious smelling salts and a heater.
[laughs]
Sean: Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're always afraid to take the first step because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road.
