“Things you did. Things you never did. Things you dreamed. After a long time they run together.”

“The right thing was confusing, and difficult, and sometimes Jason wondered if it was in fact a nonexistent ideal, like heaven or the American dream. There was no right thing. You did what you did for whatever reasons occurred to you at the time, depending on whichever emotion was running thickest in your blood. Your desire and fear and adrenaline and longing. You made your choice and came up with the reasons later.”

“Always regret the things you did do, never the things you didn't.”

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.”

“Being with you never felt wrong. It's the one thing I did right. You're the one thing I did right.”

“You have to do what you think is the right thing, but just make sure it's the right thing in the long run, and not just for the moment. Your war memories will be with you forever, you'll be asked about them thousands of times after the war is over.”
