Seize the time... Live now! Make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.

The past is written, but we are left to write the future.

I came here to find safety. But one is never safe from the past.

You're only as good as those around you. As long as you and your crew remain steadfast, you are never without hope.

There are some moments that haunt us all our lives. Moments upon which history turns.

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Live now; make now always the most precious time. Now will never come again.

If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.

There is a way out of every box, a solution to every puzzle; it's just a matter of finding it.
