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

“Regardless of the advertising campaigns may tell us, we can't have it all. Sacrifice is not an option, or an anachronism; it's a fact of life. We all cut off our own limbs to burn on some altar.
