"That's where thinking started, where thinking stopped, where all her prayers so long ago had dried up. She no longer prayed, nor even dreamed of changing her father.

They become either the legends of the legends that mankind remembers for generations or they end up as the fools of their time."
"A man has a hard time feeling fulfilled when he lives a life that does not serve a purpose that is more than himself."
"It is better for a realist to bend his will and ethics to accommodate a true friend than it is for him to stick to his principles that may turn the friend into an adversary."
