  • The most important thing we do is who we raise.
  • Life is merely a string of failures with occasional moments of perfection.
  • Pain ultimately becomes the only pathway to joy.
  • The purpose of a good man is to invade the evil that he sees around him.
  • The two shall become one, it doesn't say that you stop being one flesh.
  • The thing that you least want to do is the thing you most need to do next.
  • If you don't know what you want, find out what you don't want to exist.
