“No nation was ever so virtuous as each believes itself, and none was ever so wicked as each believes the other.”

“You don't believe in unconditional love. Neither does Alex. So you both threw away the best thing you ever had because you didn't believe in each other or yourselves.”

“You read me so well without me ever having to say the words. It astounds me. Perhaps we were made for each other. You're making me a believer, my love.”

“They held each other and kissed and pushed each others' darkness into the corner, believing in each others' light, each others' dream.”
