" Livy: Don’t you ever wonder what else is out there…beyond the farm?
Ray: Sometimes
Livy: Aren’t you curious how other people lived?
Ray: I enjoyed the drive, but i like coming back to my place. Sleeping on my land.
Livy: Your land. Ha! Seems every war in human history is about owning a land. I liked the Indian view that we’re just temporary guardians of the land where we lived.
Ray: It’s not temporary to me.
Livy: But your family just owned this land for less than a hundred years. In a span of a history that’s nothing.
Ray: In a span of a life…that’s near everything. "
