"I can't say I don't believe in your God, but I don't believe He meant the world to be as it is."
~Nicholas Higgins. North and South.
"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you are licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what."
No idea where that last quote came from, but I like it!
