Quote by Daniel Thorman

“The Kobayashi Maru is a test given to space commanders. They’re not supposed to pass it. It’s to teach them how to face failure.” “Oh. Tom should be good at that.” “Thanks… I think. Anyway, I was lucky I realized it in time. I almost succeeded.”

“When was you the happiest, Call?” Augustus asked. “Happiest about what?” Call asked. “Just about being a live human being, free on the earth,” Augustus said. “Well, it’s hard to single out any one particular time,” Call said. “It ain’t for me,” Augustus said. “I was happiest right back there by that little creek. I fell short of the mark and lost the woman, but the times were sweet.” It seemed an odd choice to Call. After all, Gus had been married twice. “What about your wives?” he asked. “Well, it’s peculiar,” Augustus said. “I never was drawn to fat women, and yet I married two of them. People do odd things, all except you. I don’t think you ever wanted to be happy anyway. It don’t suit you, so you managed to avoid it.” “That’s silly,” Call said. “It ain’t, either,” Augustus said. “I don’t guess I’ve watched you punish yourself for thirty years to be totally wrong about you. I just don’t know what you done to deserve the punishment.” “You’ve got a strange way of thinking,” Call said.”

“The biggest appeasers are often the most foreign to those they appease because there is a sort of fear and reverence for the unknown. A brother doesn't hesitate to roast a brother when he needs to be roasted; a friend isn't afraid to criticize a friend when it's meant to be constructive. On the contrary, a society full of people so easily offended by one another is a society intimidated, fearful, and divided, and the end result is the masses trampling on trust and on the concept of telling the truth. It is at the heart of it all, at the root, where many are called 'victims' not so much because of convictions, but because of a lack of connection; where everything's an offense not so much because of conscience, but because between them there is this vast distance; where pain stood not so much because they could bear only the good, but because they lacked brotherhood. For perfect love casts out fear.”
