“Stop questioning the tests that are put in your path. You're given only what you can handle. And those tests-making mistakes and figuring stuff out-that's what makes you stronger.”

“A path is something you create as you walk it. The ground you've trodden hardens, and that's what forms your path. You're the only one who can create your own path. Walk on your own. If you haven't given up yet, that is. -Cross Marian”

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”

“The greatest strength you can have is to know your own strengths. You've got to figure out what you're good at and make the most of it.”

“Facing this stuff, in real life is not like school, in school, if you make a mistake you can just try again tomorrow, but out there...when your a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes...you don't know what that's like.”

“Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.”
