“Our strength is often composed of the weakness that we're damned if we're going to show.”

“Green Day is like sex. When we good we're really good! When we're bad… we're still pretty damn good!”

“We're all mad, the whole damned race. We're wrapped in illusions, delusions, confusions about the penetrability of partitions, we're all mad and in solitary confinement.”

“Tonight we're going to show you eight silent ways to kill a man.”

“It is our weakness that calls forth the grace of God. You show your weakness, He gives us strength.”

“I know it's not good to be weak and helpless. But I don't think it's good to be too strong either. In our society, they talk about survival of the fittest. But we're not animals. We're human.”

“We're bright, we're well educated, Let's get up off our backsides now and go and create something postive for our kids.”

“Whose life would be on my hands as the commander-in-chief because I, unilaterally, went beyond the international law, went beyond the stated mission, and said we're going to show our macho? We're going into Baghdad. We're going to be an occupying power — America in an Arab land — with no allies at our side. It would have been disastrous. We don't gain the size of our victory by how many innocent kids running away — even though they're bad guys — that we can slaughter. … We're American soldiers; we don't do business that way.”

“Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!”

“We're too weak to sacrifice the things we love.”
