Quotes
Everything we do matters in ways we can't imagine.
War's a hell of a thing.
It's the things you don't see coming get you.
Sometimes the only way to keep from being swallowed by life is to go where it can't follow.
Sometimes what you don't do is what makes you who you are.
Every man has to find his own way.
You can be anything you want to be, all you have to do is go out and write the story.
Some things you can't leave behind.
You can't have it both ways. You can't have it both ways.
The truth is the truth whether you believe it or not.
The only enemy you have to fear is yourself.
The thing is, the past is so much like the present.
