"I knew guys like you in the army. You do any terrifying thing you're asked to do, but you have to do it running. You think you can outrun your fears, your doubts. The only thing that really scares you guys is stillness."
"The condition of being forgiven is self-abandonment. The proud man prefers self-reproach, however painful - because the reproached self isn't abandoned; it remains intact."
"Nevertheless, the consuming hunger of the uncritical mind for what it
imagines to be certainty or finality impels it to feast upon shadows in
the prevailing famine of substance."
- E.T. Bell
