A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

"[to his viewers from his show at the beginning of the movie] I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine. His name is Lloyd Vogel. [opens a door in the picture board to reveal a photo of a traumatized Lloyd Vogel] Someone hurt my friend Lloyd, and not just on his face. He is having a hard time forgiving the person who hurt him. Do you, do you know what that means? To forgive? It's a decision we make to release a person from the feelings of anger we have at them. It's strange, but sometimes it's hardest of all to forgive someone we love."

"I don't think anybody can grow unless he really is accepted exactly as he is."

"I hope you know that you made today a very special day by just your being you. There's no one in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are."

"There... There is no normal life that is free from pain."

"Depression is rage turned inward. To forgive is to release the anger for someone or something."

"[to Lloyd] I don't think you are broken. I know you are a man of conviction, a person who knows the difference between what is wrong and what is right. Try to remember that your relationship with your father also helped to shape those parts. He helped you become what you are."

"Listen, I realize I need to deal with my feelings. When I'm scared, which I was in the hospital, and I have been for a long time, I get really angry. I know it's a way of saying, "I can't deal with this. Get away from me." But that's not what I want. It's actually the opposite of what I want."
