“How many victims must that be? Slaughtered in vain across the land,And how many strugles must that be?Before we choose to live the profits planEverybody sing- Every day create your History,Every path you take you're leaving your legacyEvery soldier dies in his gloryEvery legend tells of conquest and liberty.”

“Love is you wearing her favorite shirt of yours, just like you did yesterday and the day before. And the day before that too.”

“History doesn't choose individual people. History chooses everyone. Every day. The only question is: How long will you ignore the call?”

“America is therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World's History shall reveal itself.”

“The most important thing was that time had passed, pouring thousands of soothing seconds across the island. People need time to deal with the now before it runs away and becomes the then.”
