“مهما كنا أو حيثما كنا نعيش، فإننا نشعر في قرارة أنفسنا بأننا غير كاملين. كما لو كنا فقدنا شيئا ويجب أن نستعيده. لكن معظمنا لا يعثر على ذلك الشيء أبدا. أما الذين بإمكانهم العثور عليه.. فلا يجرؤ إلا قلة قليلة على الخروج والبحث عنه.”

“Everyone has an angel, a guardian who watches over us. We can't know what form they'll take. One day old man, next day little girl. But don't let appearances fool you, they can be as fierce as any dragon. Yet they are not here to fight our battles, but to whisper from a hearth. Reminding that it's us... it's everyone of us who holds the power of the worlds we create.”

“And finally this question
The mystery of whose story it
will be.
Of who draws the curtain.
Who is it that chooses our steps
in the dance?
Who drives us mad?
Lashes us with whips
and crowning us
with victory when we
survive the impossible.
Who is it... that does all these things?
Who honors those we love for the
very life we live?
Who sends monsters to kill us, and
at the same time sings that we'll
never die?
Who teaches us what's real and how to
laugh at lies?
Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend?
Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?
It's you...
You have all the weapons you need...
Now fight!”
