“I have great honor. So will you. But you will find that that is not the same as power.”
― Lois Lowry, The Giver

“I like to hurt people too. I can make the cruelest choice. The difference is, sometimes I don't, and you always do, and that makes you evil.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

But sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
― Veronica Roth, Allegiant

“Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn’t exist and never shall. There is only now.”
― Christopher Paolini, Eragon / Eldest / Brisingr / Inheritance
