[APOCALYPSE NOW] There are two of you

I used to prepare pipe for my husband. It was the morphine he took for the wounds he suffered in his heart. He would rage and he would cry, my lost soldier. And I said to him, there are two of you. Don't you see? One that kills and one that loves. And he said to me I don't know whether I'm an animal or a god. But you are both. You want more? All that matters is that you're alive. You are alive, Captain. That's the truth. There are two of you, don't you see? One that kills and one that loves.

 

Currently watching the Director's cut version of this movie and this quote really stuck with me.

gosh, yes, especially with his ex wife leaving him and what she may have seen. he's had a rough life and i imagine it'd bleed out regardless of who's around.
