“there is only one thing on my body that's ten inches long, and if you'll recall, the scar is no' it.”

“An inch of foreknowledge is worth ten miles of after-thought.”

“There's this man who lives in the sky, and he has ten things he doesn't want you to do, and you'll burn for a long time if you do them. But he loves you.”

“My body separates me from all beings and all things. Only my body.”

“We must use every inch of our blood to take back every inch of our land, you ten thousand youths and soldiers.”

“Scars are stories, history written on the body”

“Ten years from now, no one is going to care how quickly the books came out. The only thing that will matter, the only thing anyone will remember, is how good they were. That's my main concern, and always will be.”

“One must not speak of such things. One is still scarred from that experience.”

“Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say
But thought that I might say or do,
Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled.”

“My siblings died the day I left for dry land
and only one small bone recalls that anniversary in me.”
