“Cara Lynne tenía solo un año, pero deseaba que me quedara más tiempo. Así es como sabemos que estamos en casa, creo, por mucho que nos hayamos alejado de ella o por más tiempo que hayamos pasado en otro lugar. Nuestra casa es el sitio donde quieren que nos quedemos más tiempo.”

“Things aren't what they used to be' is the rallying cry of small minds. When men say things used to be better, they invariably mean they were better for them, because they were young, and had all their hopes intact. The world is bound to look a darker place as you slide into the grave.”

“It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.
... War endures. As well ask men what they think of stone.
War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him.
The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.
That is the way it was and will be.
That way and not some other way...
War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god...
Men of god and men of war have strange affinities.”

“Show me a god that does not demand mortal suffering.
Show me a god that celebrates diversity, a celebration that embraces even non-believers, and is not threatened by them.
Show me a god that understands the meaning of peace. In life, not in death.”
