“Fear, Sadness. They're not weaknesses. They are overpowering, defining emotions. They make you human, Sophie.”

“Humans aren't defined by death, and they're not defined by what they lack. They're defined by their connections.”

“Joy, sadness, confidence, anxiety, love, hatred, fear-all of these feelings and thousands more that make up the human "heart" are as useless to the living dead as the organ of the same name. Who knows if this is humanity's greatest weakness or strength? The debate continues, and probably will forever.”

“The demons of the Devil don't use your weak weaknesses against you, they use your strong ones. If you're rational and logical, they argue their case rationally and logically. If you're loyal and faithful, they turn those against you. If you're passionate and emotional, they make you passionate and emotional about your worse fears. Your weak weaknesses are no use to them.... They find the strongest weaknesses you didn't know were yours and use those against you.”

“They're beautiful. But sad.'Everything's sad if you make it so, I said.”

“Hope is the single most defining as well as the single most disturbing human emotion.”
