“You can’t destroy knowledge. You can stamp it under and burn it up and forbid it to be, but somewhere it will survive.”

“You can’t burn me.”

“You like someone who can’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.”

“You have to be self-reliant and strong to survive in this town. Otherwise you will be destroyed.”

“If you can’t show that it’s true, then you can’t call it truth. Knowledge is similar to truth in that it a justified belief. Knowledge is demonstrable and testable with measurable accuracy. If you can’t demonstrate your knowledge to any degree at all by any means whatsoever then you don’t actually know what you think you do, no matter how convinced of it you are. Without evidentiary support, then it is only an empty assertion unworthy of serious consideration.”

“Things go up and down. If you can survive the down, it will come back. ”

“Fear is like a fire in your belly. Controlled, it warms you and keeps you alive. Uncontrolled, it burns and destroys you.”

“You love each other – anyone can see that, looking at you – that kind of love that can burn down the world or raise it up in glory.”

“I cannot let you burn me up, nor can I resist you. No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed.”

“Knowledge is a terrible burden. It may help you, but it might also destroy you.”
