Quote by Madeline Sheehan

“Whatever this shit is between us it’s always been there and it’s always gonna be there. I’m shit-fuckin’-tired tryin’ to ignore it. I’ll try to do right by you Eva, you’d be the first, but I’ll fuckin’ try my damndest. And baby, true freedom is the open road, the wind on your face and a good woman on the back of your bike holdin’ you tight like you’re her reason for breathin’ because she sure as fuck is yours.”

“The Word guides those who yearn for impact. It keeps their hearts stirred. His paths are like rivers, where blessings are conferred. With every step they take in faith, they are well led.”

“We’d move faster without you.” “I’ll keep up,” Genya countered. “See that you do,” said Mal. “We’ll be entering an area crawling with militias, not to mention the Darkling’s oprichniki. You’re recognizable,” he said to Genya. “So is Tolya, for that matter.” Tamar’s lips twitched. “Would you like to be the one to tell him he can’t come?” Mal considered this. “Maybe we can disguise him as a really big tree.”

“Every day that we can open our eyes and take a look at the world around us, is another day to be thankful for. It's a chance to remember how far we've come, and to remember how we did it -- by being honest with ourselves about who we are and what we've done. By letting hope back into our lives, and learning to lean on those who care when we're too weak to stand on our own two feet. It hasn't been easy, and it never will be. After all, every day is also a chance to slide back into the darkness. To live in ourselves and our regrets, instead of this moment. To run away from those that would help us and let self-hatred drive us back into isolation, despair, and destruction. So let's make a promise this morning -- that we will spend today with our eyes fixed forward. Step by step, we will do things that help make life better, for ourselves and those around us. Because just as they have forgiven us -- we must also forgive ourselves.”

“Rousseau, esse primeiro homem moderno, idealista e 'canaille' numa só pessoa; que necessitava da 'dignidade' moral para aguentar seu próprio aspecto; doente de vaidade e de autodesprezo desenfreados. Esse aborto que se recostou no umbral da nova época também queria 'retorno à natureza' -- para onde, repito a pergunta, queria retornar Rousseau? -- Eu odeio Rousseau inclusive na Revolução: ela é a expressão histórico-universal dessa duplicidade de idealista e 'canaille'. A 'farce' sangrenta com que transcorreu essa Revolução, a sua 'imoralidade', pouco me importa: o que odeio é a sua moralidade rousseauniana -- as chamadas 'verdades' da Revolução, com as quais ela ainda faz efeito e convence para o seu lado tudo o que é raso e medíocre. A doutrina da igualdade!... Mas não há veneno mais venenoso: pois ela parece pregada pela própria justiça, enquanto é o fim da justiça... 'Aos iguais o que é igual, aos desiguais o que é desigual' -- esse seria o verdadeiro discurso da justiça: e, consequência disso, 'jamais igualar o que é desigual.' O fato de as coisas terem transcorrido de maneira tão medonha e sangrenta em torno dessa doutrina da igualdade conferiu a essa 'ideia moderna' par excellence uma espécie de glória e resplendor, de modo que a Revolução como espetáculo também seduziu os espíritos mais nobres. Isso não é, no fim das contas, razão para estimá-la mais. -- Vejo apenas um homem que a considerou da maneira que ela deve ser considerada, com nojo -- Goethe”
