- All of this has happened before.
- Ideas always seem strange until you try them on.
- The shape of things to come.
- There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
- "Out-of-the-box" is where I live.
- What is the most basic article of faith? This is not all that we are.
- Genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs step wise though the essence is all one, end of line.
- There is no greater ally, no force more powerful, no enemy more resolved, than a son who chooses to step from his father's shadow.
- Sometimes a benevolent tyrant is exactly what you need.
- So, barely competent and paranoid? That's a hell of a combination.
- Nobody blames the flood.
- I'm a friendly, okay? We're all friendlies! So, let's just...be friendly!
- The only problem isn't that he lies - that would be too easy - it's that he mixes lies with truth.
- But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be gods, wouldn't we?
- In war, you can only get killed once. In politics it can happen over and over.
- We gotta roll the hard six.
- You can't declare war on love.
- Good and evil, we created those. Want to break the cycle? Break the cycle of birth, death, re-birth, destruction, escape, death. That's in our hands. In our hands only.
- I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws; and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me.
- Symbols matter. Uniforms, flags, banners - even mascots. They're like pieces of your heart that you can see.
- Those things we deem essential, without which we cannot bear living. Without which life in general loses its specific value. Becomes abstract.
- I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eye teeth to end you!
- "What's the charge this time?" "Striking a superior asshole."
- All I know is if there is a God, he's laughin' his ass off.
- "What do you want to do now, Captain?" "The same thing we always do. Fight them until we can't."
- Whatever else I am, whatever else it means, that's the man I want to be. And if I die today, that's the man I'll be.
- It's not enough to survive. One must be worthy of survival.
- You make your choices and you live with them. And in end you are those choices.
- I just hope... I hope that... people realize, eventually, who I am.
- So say we all.
