Why does love, the absence of love, the end of love, the need for love, result in so much violence? [to August]
If in your entire life you truly felt it didn’t matter what you thought, how would that make you feel? When we’ve liberated ourselves, we will have to ask ourselves who we are.[to August]
We’re women without a voice. We have nothing to return to. Even the animals are safer in their homes than we women are. All we have are our dreams.[Mariche: Ona, you’re a dreamer.]
Surely there must be something worth living for in this life, not only in the next.[Scarface Janz: Does entering the Kingdom of Heaven mean nothing to any of you?]
Is forgiveness that’s forced upon us true forgiveness?
Freedom is good. It is better than slavery. Forgiveness is good. It is better than revenge. And hope for the unknown is good, it is better than hatred of the familiar.
