“Justice is for the victim.” Kick. “Vengeance is for the survivor.”

“Through the ages, many different groups have called themselves victims. Some came through wars and massacres. Some were slaves or minorities.

“Survival is the celebration of choosing life over death. We know we're going to die. We all die. But survival is saying: perhaps not today. In that sense, survivors don't defeat death, they come to terms with it.”
