When you're scared you can either give in to the panic and let your mind fall apart, or you can take charge of your mind and think brave.

It's good to keep changing your mind. It shows you're thinking. I'll only stop changing my mind when I'm dead. And maybe not even then.

The Bible just said ‘Thou shalt not kill’, then told hundreds of stories of people killing each other and becoming heroes, like David with Goliath.

The world was quickly forgetting us. And there was little news to report.

Sometimes I got worried that my memory was falling apart.

Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted.

So I found myself telling my own stories. It was strange: as I did it I realised how much we get shaped by our stories. It's like the stories of our lives make us the people we are. If someone had no stories, they wouldn't be human, wouldn't exist. And if my stories had been different I wouldn't be the person I am.
