“The field of honor is a painful field...(It) is not a place where children can play. Children don't have any honor, you see, and they aren't expected to, because it's too difficult for them. It's too painful. But to become an adult, one must step into the field of honor. Everything will be expected of you now. You will need to be vigilant in your principles. Sacrifices will be demanded. You will be judged. If you make mistakes, you must account for them. There will be instances when you must cast aside your impulses and take a higher stance than another person - a person without honor - might take. Such an instance may hurt, but that's why honor is a painful field.”

“This is the carpenter's painful truth: nothing is true.

...We think we live in boxes until we look closer and find we're in fact living in irregular shapes, in big, misshapen accidents.”
― Michael Christie, Greenwood

“Confidence is being okay being bad, not being okay being good.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six
