Movie Quote from "Harvey"

This is probably one of the best lines I’ve heard in a movie for a long time. Not only did it fit the moment on screen, but it resonated with me for awhile afterward. The words just rattled around in my skull, ending up in different orders, rearranging but keeping the same meaning. It is not necessarily a deep quote, but I liked it none the less. Elwood is speaking of the people he meets in bars with his “imaginary” friend Harvey.

“They tell about the big terrible things they've done and the big wonderful things they'll do; their hopes, and their regrets, and their loves, and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar.”

I just love the truthfulness of it.
