“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to somebody else.”

“Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them.
This only looks like love.”

“When you use the term minority or minorities
in reference to people, you're telling them that
they're less than somebody else.”

“When somebody is attacking your hometown, and you're just sitting in the basement, you feel really useless. I felt I had to do it to defend my country. That's normal.”

“Don't be like anybody else. Be different. Then you can make a
contribution. Otherwise, you just echo something; you're just a reflection.”

“And so it is that you learn how to pass, if you're lucky, to look like everyone else, even though you're broken inside.”

“Well they're breaking down doors in foreign countries,
Everybody thinks somebody's hiding something.
There's talk on the street and the nation is worried.
But you can't talk back when you're dead, when you're dead and buried.”

“Cause when you're fifteen
And somebody tells you they love you,
you're gonna believe them.
And when you're fifteen,
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out,
Well count to ten, take it in.
This is life before you know
Who you're gonna be,
You're fifteen.”

“…when you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.”

“Don't fret. We'll just have to find something else you're good at besides killing people.”
