“The day that man allows true love to appear, those things which are well made will fall into cofusion and will overturn everything we believe to be right and true.”

“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”

“But if the things I believe are right and true, then what fear have I of challenge, for will those things I learn not simply prove what is? And if the things I believe are not right and true, would it not be better for me to know that and face it like a man?”

“The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it.”

“Only those things the heart believes are true.”

“So true is that unnatural generally means only uncustomary, and that everything which is usual appears natural.”
