No matter what else you are, you are mine.
The world makes things for each place.
The best hope I have is to be enough.
Fear will only ever be a part of you, never all of you.
The desert had its own way of telling time.
You're reaching out and saving me in ways you don't even realize.
Everyone's always on your side when you're winning. It's when you start to lose that they turn sides.
The world will always be hard and sharp. But I will be hard and sharp with it.
Sometimes a rebellion doesn't have time to wait for someone else.
In this world, there was no such thing as despair, only hopelessness.
We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
You are my desert flower, and together we bloom.
