“You have a choice in this world, I believe, about how to tell sad stories, and we made the funny choice.”

“This was the way the night had cashed in. Choices had been made and things happened, and here we were. It was sad, and funny. My life was made of this. Stuff like this.”

“I have no choice of living or dying, you see, sir--but I do have a choice of how I do it. If I tell them not to fight, they will be sorry, but they will fight. If I tell them to fight, they will be glad, and I who am not a very brave man will have made them a little braver.”

“Circumstances shape who we are and who we become. I believe that. But I also believe we have choices. There are always choices.”

“Maybe none of us can choose who we love, Cas. None of the lucky ones, anyway. The only choice we have is how we serve that love. And Ethan’s made his choice. What about you? Are you going to reject it, or make the best of what you’ve been given?”

“If you didn't have a choice, you have to make a choice. If you didn't have options, you made some. You couldn't just let the world happen to you.”
