When I was lying there in the VA hospital with a big hole blown through the middle of my life, I started having these dreams of flying. I was free. Sooner or later, though, you always have to wake up.
Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.
All energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back.
You want a fair deal, you’re on the wrong planet. The strong prey on the weak. That’s just the way things are. And nobody does a damn thing.
All I ever wanted in my sorry-ass life was a single thing worth fighting for.
This is Jake Sully signing off.
This is how it’s done. When people are sitting on s*** that you want, you make them your enemy. Then you justify taking it.
There’s no such thing as an ex-Marine. You may be out, but you never lose the attitude.
One life ends, another begins.
I became a marine for the hardship. To be hammered on the anvil of life. Told myself I can pass any test a man can pass.
Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream.
Wherever we go, this family is our fortress.
