“Don't sacrifice yourself for me. I will not be grateful.”
“Well, you have the right to make a sacrifice of yourself, but I'll be damned if I'll let you sacrifice me!”
“I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.”
“You made me real, and I will hurt for you and because of you and be grateful for the pain. But this? This is forever. Don't do this.”
“Just keep being true to yourself, if you're passionate about something go for it. Don't sacrifice anything, just have fun.”
“You were going to sacrifice yourself to save everyone else?"I cringed. "Then I wimped out.”
