The penalty for a long life is increasing resistance to change.

Once you've achieved everything, there is nothing left. You take out the core of being human: the striving.

Sometimes you have to do what’s wrong in order to do what’s right.

You convinced yourselves we're just a bunch of regular lads who got a bad break in life. Anything else would have cracked your dream open and made you face reality. Illusion is easy. Illusion is the loser's way out. Your way.

The military do so love shiny new technology, there's always so many ways to abuse it.

The penalty for a long life is increasing resistance to change.

The balance is the penalty of being human: the danger of allowing yourself to feel. For this we walk a narrow path high above rocky ground. On one side we have the descent into animalism, on the other a godhead delusion. Both pulling at us, both tempting. But without these forces tugging at your psyche, stirring it into conflict, you can never love. They awaken us, you see, these warring sides, they arouse our passion.
