“There are some things more important than physical survival. You gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror.”
“...I understand where you're coming from. I know it isn't just a question of revenge. It's the feeling there are some things you can't let pass. If you did, you wouldn't be able to look at yourself in the mirror afterwards.”
“Some things are more important than safety.”
“This doesn’t have to be hard, Mr. Carter. Tell me what you did or I promise that you’ll never be able to look at yourself in the mirror again.”
“Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think”
“I have always believed in the principle that immediate survival is more important than long-term survival.”
