“Blessed are the people whose leaders can look destiny in the eye without flinching but also without attempting to play God”
“I don't care about whose DNA has recombined with whose. When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching--they are your family.”
“His were the kind of eyes that held secrets. The kind that lied without flinching. The kind that once you looked into them, it was hard to break away.”
“So bless me then, you tranquil eye that can behold even the greatest happiness without envy!”
“To live without philosophizing is in truth the same as keeping the eyes closed without attempting to open them.”
“When everything goes to hell, the people who stand by you without flinching -- they are your family. ”
