The whole world is like Whitewall's razors I burst out. It cuts us, and we bleed but there's no purpose to it.

This is the way we win over our enemies, not with bigger weapons, or faster ships, but with human courage, ingenuity, and sacrifice. Don't lose hope. We've faced the darkness before-it has nothing new to teach us. As we go about our lives, let us remember the example Dr. Navarro set for us. At the right time, anyone can be a hero.

No matter how interminable something feels, there is always, always an ending. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's bad sometimes it's a matter of indifference, and sometimes it's heartbreaking, and your life is never the same thereafter.

Perhaps that was the point life, if you did it right, meant learning and changing. If you didn't, you died- or stopped growing - which amounted to more or less the same thing. So I would slide in and out of different roles until I discovered the one that fit me best. -Deuce, (183)

As I dive between the legs of a big Gunnar, I see Mair wind up and slam her shockstick hard as she can between the V of another guy’s thighs. Falling, he makes a noise that I can’t say I’ve heard a human utter before, sort of like I imagine a puppy would sound being put through a juicer.

I know just how he feels that it’s come to this. Sometimes, love isn’t enough, even when it’s all you have.
Ann Aguirre
Image
Yet sometimes being a friend meant letting people do things that hurt, like putting distance between you, just because it made them happy.

Image
I’m as forgiving as the wall you hit at two hundred kilometers an hour.

Image
My heart should be breaking, too, but there comes a point when you’re so inured to loss that you no longer feel the lash.

I never knew I had the power to hurt him, only that he possessed the power to hurt me.
Ann Aguirre
Image
For I need this scar over my heart to remind me. Crazy as it sounds, if I can bear the wound on my body, it lessens what I must carry on my soul. How he knew that about me, I cannot fathom.

I couldn't help what I'd done before I learned it was wrong. I could only do better in the future.

They say funerals are not for the dead but for the living. Those rites are what permit you to move on, so if you don't deal with the remains, you can never deal with the memories. That might be true we may have walked in their dust down on Venice Minor, but it's not the same as a proper good-bye.
