"Young men go to war. Sometimes because they are have to, sometimes because they want to. Always, they feel they are supposed to.

“Without love, we are birds with broken wings.”

“Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won’t be longing for somebody else’s things. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”

“If we can remember the feeling of love we once had, we can die without ever going away.”

“You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning. Because if you’ve find meaning in your life, you don’t want to go back. You want to go forward.”

“Love each other or perish.”
