“We all have our crosses to bear. We carry them heavily, out of love for our brothers in arms. But sometimes you have to let go of the idea that anyone down here is in control.”

“We should all let our inner voices take control from time to time. Let them have their say. We let them take control when we're driving down the motorway sometimes, and they don't do a bad job. Maybe we all need to have a little more faith in ourselves.”

“We all have our crosses to bear.”

“We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.”

“But in life people come and go. We don't always have control over it. But we can control how we respond. We can keep going, keep living the best we can. We can love the people we have instead of shutting them out. We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have.”

“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?”
