There is no man, and no place, without war. The only thing we can do is choose a side, and fight. That is the only choice we get - who we fight for, who we fight against. That is life.

The burden of happiness can only be relieved by the balm of suffering.

Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting

Never let anyone know what you're thinking - always know what the other thinks of you.

Powerful people have no regrets.

I don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.

you can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of God, or what we call God, and it can never die.
