Wall Quotes
-
In the eyes of God, a child on the other side of the border is no less worthy of love and compassion than my own child.

We can't hide behind a wall.

Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
Can be retentive to the strength of spirit;
But life, being weary of these worldly bars,
Never lacks power to dismiss itself.

I basically made the movie from the crew's suggestions. For one scene, I wanted some kids' toys against the wall in Mikey's room, to give the scene texture, and we tried a field hockey stick.
