Revenge is a bitter fruit that poisons the soul.
Fear breeds nothing but more fear.
Hope is a fragile thing, easily crushed.
Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is to let go.
The past can be a weight that crushes us, or a lesson that guides us.
Love is a force that can drive us to both greatness and madness.
Strength isn't just about muscle, it's about character.
Injustice flourishes when good people do nothing.
