Your life matters. Don't regret living. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be happy. Thinking the only way to end your suffering is through death is terrible. You weren't born to suffer. And you shouldn't. No child should ever feel that way. If your world is filled with more pain than happiness... If you're wishing your life was over just to end the despair... If you're wandering the world feeling like you don't belong in it... That's not your fault. It's the fault of the world you live in and the people responsible for it. No one person should ever carry the entire weight of the world on their shoulders...especially not a child. No matter how many horrible things you've done, no matter how many unforgivable offenses you've committed... It should NEVER be that way. It's not your responsibility. The duty should fall to the adults in your life. I'll be the one to take responsibility.
Most often people forget their duty and umbrellas.
I'm not a fatalist, but I don't like to be dependent on something or someone. I can only depend on my president or my wife.
— Ah! je t'ai bien compris, sauvage voyageur,
Et ton dernier regard m'est allé jusqu'au coeur!
Il disait : "Si tu peux, fais que ton âme arrive,
A force de rester studieuse et pensive,
Jusqu'à ce haut degré de stoïque fierté
Où, naissant dans les bois, j'ai tout d'abord monté.
Gémir, pleurer, prier est également lâche.
Fais énergiquement ta longue et lourde tâche
Dans la voie où le Sort a voulu t'appeler,
Puis après, comme moi, souffre et meurs sans parler."
I'm already a dead man. At least give me the chance to settle the debt that I owe to you. I'll never make it before the investigating committee. They're scared to death I'll implicate the whole bunch of them. They gotta get rid of me. Today is as good a day as any. You do it, Noodles. You're the only person I can accept it from.
— Nevertheless the pro-treaty Paddies and the King want the same man dead... Why him?
— Did you ask why in France?
— Yeah.
— So, it's the same answer, because.
— Why me?
— Because.
