Hi, I am looking for a particular quote form the movie, but I havent been able to locate it for some time now. It is the quote that is written down by his father and saved for his moment with his son. Something about the abyss and how we are doomed by it. If you could help me out i would be most appreciative. Thank you.

Those who linger too long over the abyss without the lifeline of beliefs to tug them back watch their moral center disappear into the fathomless depths. They are left only with vague concepts of reality which they arrange haphazardly in an effort to construct temporary meanings of life.
