“Student is not a container you have to fill but a torch you have to light up.”

“They say that your eyes contain fire, that your face fills with light.”

“Now more than ever I wish I had a cup of oblivion. But there is no mercy for the people who have left the darkness for the light. The darkness lingers until you stand naked in the light and let it fill you up, in every corner of your soul.”

“Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.”

“You think you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s only some bugger with a torch bringing you more work.”

“Memories are our strength. When night attempts to return, we must light up the great dates, as we would light torches.”
