“Don't let anyone but a soldier tell you how to fight a war.”

“Be open to suggestions, but don't let anyone dictate how you should tell your story. Who can possibly tell your story better than you?”

“We have to find our own way to live, and to love. Don't ever let anyone else tell you how it should be for you.”

“The detectives ransack the place with the passion of soldiers fighting a just war.”

“Hope is a force of nature. Don't let anyone tell you different.”

“He who fights with guns and knives is a coward! For how easy is it to kill with the single pull of a trigger? And how does human flesh stand to a sharpened metal? Even an idiot can kill with a gun and a knife! A man needs no courage at all to stand behind these things that make him feel invincible and bigger than he ever will be! I don't say that no one should fight! Because battles must be fought, and wars will always be won! But let those who fight, fight with bare hands! The measure of true strength! With his hands and feet and nothing but! The country with truly strong men is able to have soldiers that need not a knife, that need no guns! And if you can soar even higher than that; fight with your pens! Let us all write! And see the substance of the man through his philosophies and through his beliefs! And let one philosophy outdo another! Let one belief outlast another! And let this be how we determine the outcome of a war!”
