“The blade must past threw the fire, else it breaks.”

“If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then you got a problem. Everything else is inconvenience.”

“Peace is not happenstance. It is a living fire that must be fed constantly. It must be tended with vigilance, else it dies out.”

“Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon”

“True love, true love.
It must be true love.
Nothing else can break my heart like
True love, true love.
It must be true love.
No one else can break my heart like you.”

“Everything else was in the past, and the past no longer mattered.”

“I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.”

“Love hangs herself with the bedsheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
Ten good reasons to stay alive
Ten good reasons that I can't find”

“A light on Marmion’s visage spread,
And fired his glazing eye:
With dying hand, above his head,
He shook the fragment of his blade,
And shouted "Victory!-
Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley, on!"”

“Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.”
