Guido (Eli Wallach): Knowing things don't matter much. You got something a lot more important.
Roslyn (Marilyn Monroe): What?
Guido You care. Whatever happens to anybody, happens to you. You're really hooked into the whole thing, Roslyn. It's a blessing.
Roslyn: People say I'm just nervous.
Guido: If it weren't for the nervous people in the world, we'd all still be eating each other.
-- Arthur Miller. The Misfits (movie, 1961) directed by John Huston.
