“Στον πόλεμο δεν κερδίζει ο καλύτερος. Κερδίζει πάντα αυτός που έχει λιγότερα να χάσει.”

“Οι άνθρωποι δεν είναι αυτό που δείχνουν, ούτε αυτό που νομίζουν πως είναι. Είναι οι στιγμές που λυγίζουν και οι στιγμές που αποφασίζουν να μην λυγίσουν άλλο. Είναι οι σιωπές τους όταν θα έπρεπε να ουρλιάζουν και οι κραυγές τους όταν δεν τους ακούει κανείς.”
― Pol Koutsakis, Δεν είσαι εδώ

“Μου είπαν η κόρη μου - η Μπέλα χειρότερα είναι από μένα , γι 'αυτό πρέπει χειρουργείο. Τους λέω εντάξει , ανοίξτε εμένα , βγάλτε δική μου καρδιά , βάλτε τη σε Μπέλα. Μου είπαν δε γίνεται , δε μπορούν από ζωντανό , τους λέω εντάξει , μπορώ να πεθάνω , μου λένε δε ταιριάζουν οι καρδιές μας ...”
