“Bad bloods aren't born evil or dangerous. We are taught to be, but only because we have to if we want to survive.”

“This is the only time for high ideals because those ideals are all that we have. We aren't just fighting for our physical survival, but for the survival of our civilization. We don't have the luxury of old-world pillars. We don't have a common heritage, we don't have a millennia of history. All we have are the dreams and promises that bind us together. All we have...is what we want to be.”

“We...sin not because we want what is evil, but because we want what isn't good enough.”

“We aren't who we appear to be on the outside...We keep up appearances in order to survive...”

“There will always be suffering and sorrow in sin, but to repent only because we feel bad or because we have suffered or because we are sorrowful does not show that we understand the goodness of God.”

“We're all born nameless, aren't we? And the name we end up with has only peripherally to do with our family tree.”
