The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on. Nor thy piety, nor pity shall lure it back to cancel half a line. Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.[Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam]
Sometimes bad things have to happen to get good things.[to Eli]
Pain and pleasure, they’re just all part of being human. That’s how you know you’re born. If it doesn’t hurt, not real life.[to Eli]
No test is worth anything unless it’s difficult to pass.
Never underestimate what any man is capable of.[to Eli]
