“That's what I've started to learn about this world. It might give, but it always takes away.”

“The thing I've found about exciting is that it's like fireworks. A big burst of color. It takes your breath away, and then nothing. But something that's always there, while it might not be as exciting, like the stars in the sky, they can still steal your breath.”

“You know when you've found it that's something I've learned, cause you feel it when they take it away.”

“If that is what this world is, what humans are... There is no future. Understanding and faith... If you take those away, all that's left is fear. I can't accept immoral methods or giving up.”

“If I let them take away my demons, I'll have to give up what I've found.”

“That's me, giving myself a tough-love speech. I'm going to start doing that more often, I've decided. One might as well put his inner monologue to good use.”
