Live by Night quotes

  • [first lines]

    Joe Coughlin: [narrating] In 1917, I signed up to fight the Huns in France. Good men died all around me, and I saw no reason for it. The rules we lived by were lies. And they didn't apply to those who made them. I swore If I made it home, I would never follow orders again. I left a soldier, I came home an outlaw.

  • Joe Coughlin: I'm crazy about her.

    Thomas Coughlin: Crazy isn't love.
