“The room was filled with conversations we weren't having.”

“It was terrible. All of the things we couldn't share. The room was filled with conversations we weren't having.”

“We have a choice. We have two options as human beings. We have a choice between conversation and war. That's it. Conversation and violence. And faith is a conversation stopper.”

“Our nights were filled with passion and long soft gazes and sweet words. We weren't behaving ourselves, and we didn't for one moment feel guilty about that.”

“As long as a thing is unknown, it belongs to us in a way that well-known things do not. For we have the opportunity to fill the empty, unknown spaces for ourselves, and in them there is room for imagination and for hope.”

“We've had this conversation before, but humor me. How many people in this room have a soul? A shot at heaven, or whatever there is after this life.”
