“War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who remains.”

“Maybe I’ll always be scared. Maybe the fear of getting hurt, of being left alone,

Like love.
Like this.”

“I’ve always wanted that: to be looked up at, to be known by people I’ve never even spoken to before, to be special, distinct, standing up on the tallest, brightest platform.
