“History doesn't choose individual people. History chooses everyone. Every day. The only question is: How long will you ignore the call?”

“...history is a selection process - it chooses moments and events, and even people - it hands them a situation that they shouldn't be able to overcome, and it's in those moments, in that fight, that people find out who they are.”

“History isn't written by the winners - it's written by everyone - it's a jigsaw of facts from contradictory sources. But every once in a while, you unearth that one original document that no one can argue with...”

“Today, I don't believe in destiny. But I do believe in history...There's nothing more powerful than history...”

“Life is a monster, Calvin. Especially when it doesn't turn out the way you hoped. But that doesn't mean you can hide from it.”

“There's the life you live and the life you leave behind. but what you share with someone else - especially someone you love - that's not just how you bury your past. It's how you write you future.”

“You tell them - you tell them there's a cost.....Every decision we make in life, there's always a cost.”
