“If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it, let us fight against destiny, even without hope of victory.”

“Man is perishing. That may be, and if it is nothingness that awaits us let us so act that it will be an unjust fate.”

“Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the belief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.”

“Let us be as watchful after the victory as before the battle.”

“don't let us get sick, don't let us get old, don't let us get stupid, alright? just make us be brave, and make us play nice, and let us be together tonight.”

“Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.”
