Quote from "American Beauty"

"My name is Lester Burnham...
This is my neighborhood;
this is my street;
this is my life....
I am 42 years old;
in less than a year I will be dead.
Of course I don't know that yet,
and in a way,
I am dead already."
Lester Burnham: [narrating]
"Both my wife and daughter think I'm this gigantic loser
and
they're right,
I have lost something.
I'm not exactly sure what it is
but I know I didn't always feel this...
sedated.
But you know what?
It's never too late to get it back."
