— It’s the quality of one’s conviction that determines success, not the number of one’s followers.
— Who said that?
— Me.
— Alicia, does our relationship warrant long-term commitment? Because I need some kind of proof, some kind of verifiable, empirical data.
— I'm sorry, just give me a moment... to redefine my girlish notions of romance. A proof? Verifiable data. Okay. Well, how big is the universe?
— Infinite.
— How do you know?
— Because all the data indicates it.
— But it hasn't been proven yet?
— No.
— You haven't seen it.
— No.
— How do you know for sure?
— I don't, I just believe it.
— It's the same with love, I guess.

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

— It's not about justice. It's an obsession. Even though you know there are other, wiser ways to live, you feel that if you turn your back on everything you've worked toward, it's like admitting you lived a lie. <...> This is because of our pride as men.

History shows that in the matter of religions, we progress backward, and not the other way. No matter, there will be a new God and a new religion. They will be introduced to popularity and acceptance with the only arguments that have ever persuaded any people in this earth to adopt Christianity, or any other religion that they werenot born to: the Bible, the sword, the torch, and the axe.
Have you ever been for sale?
When your isms get smart
Oh so selfish and mindless
With that comment in your eye
Do you think that you are hard?
Unlike you mercenaries, I fight for a real cause. The ones who survive are those who fight for their convictions.
