THE 100 SENTENCE STARTERS, SEASONS 4-5. * survival, regret, guilt, battle, murder, etc.
i know you want to make up for all the things youโve done, i do too. but we need to think of the bigger picture.
i made the call, and iโll live with that.
how many people do you have to save before you forgive yourself?
youโre the one going too far, using the same justification, โ itโs all for my people.ย โ
if you just tell them the truth, maybe theyโll surprise you.
i think peace is overrated. itโs the fighters who survive.
you canโt save someone who doesnโt want to be saved.
hereโs the take away: you have to be willing to die to really live.
for all its faults, earth is really beautiful.
whatever choice i make, somebody always dies.
have you ever loved someone so much that no matter what they do to you, or themselves, you take it?
itโs gonna be wonderful. youโre gonna rebuild the world.
if we leave, we canโt come back.
is that really a risk youโre willing to take?
weโll survive. weโll just wish we didnโt.
we made death the enemy. thatโs how we survived.
youโre a healer, not a fighter.
itโs not the truth. itโs what we say to justify the horror we inflict on other people.
why do you always have to be the one to sacrifice?
you didnโt need me anymore.ย
i donโt ever want to see this place again.ย
you did things to survive, thatโs in the past.
whatโs one more, right? weโre already murderers.
weโre talking about taking one life to save hundreds.ย
if you say weโre doing the right thing enough, maybe iโll believe you.
iโve been fighting the abusive power all my life.
i want to see an end to the violence just as bad as you.
iโm not preparing for war, iโm planning for peace.ย
weโre all just people. all this will ever be is a battlefield.
seeing you fighting to survive, thatโs who i fell in love with.
as soon as this fight is over, you will fall apart again.
i was part of something bigger than myself. i didnโt know i needed that, but i did.
it felt good to be safe. i never felt that before - like i had a home.ย
donโt tell me youโve never killed for revenge.
i donโt need you to protect me. i protect myself. i always have.
you know nothing of my pain.
we were happy once, werenโt we?
i donโt want to be a killer anymore.
i donโt want to take lives to save them.
everyone dies. letโs show them how to live.
we survive together. all of us, like always.
only a fool fights a war they canโt win.
living with what weโve done to survive is worse than death.
what happened to us being the good guys?
how do you explain the sun to someone whoโs never seen it?
i know it sucks, but sometimes there are no good choices.
how many innocent lives have you sacrificed?
you were just trying to save your people, so am i.
you think better days are ahead, but thatโs not true.
there is no light at the end of the tunnel. there is only the tunnel.
we are the problem - human beings, all of us.ย
it doesnโt matter what we do. all weโve done is make things worse.
i wonโt apologize for protecting you from yourself.
iโd walk through fire for you. iโd die for you.
youโre better at blowing things up than fixing them.
be strong, direct, unrelenting.
peace without war is still possible.
i came here to tell you that i love you very much, no matter what happens.ย
careful. you took a thorn out of a lionโs foot, but theyโre still a lion.
weโre still on the same team, right?
you want to weaken than enemy? whatโs weaker than an enemy at war with itself?
this is a place we can start over and rebuild.
the ghosts can have this place.
if you do this, thereโs no coming back.
you canโt save someone whoโs already dead.
go to war if you want to, but at least tell them they have a choice.
it means we lost the battle, not the war.
hey, you still want a gun?
how do you choose between the monster and the devil?
what we do here now is how we survive.
living with ourselves is another story.
iโm not mad at you for saving my life. iโm mad at you for making me care about yours.
i never said i was a hero because iโm not one.
a week ago, you were a traitor. next week, you might be again.
iโm just tired of always having to choose the least bad option.
itโs broken. i broke it.
weโve all got blood on our hands, donโt we?
i should have killed you when i had the chance.
i donโt need ghosts telling me what i lost.
i know youโre scared, i am too. but i have to do this, and you have to let me.
life should be about more than just surviving.ย
it was you who saved me.ย
i may never be able to fix what i broke, but i can save you.ย
look around you. do you see signs of hope here?
itโs hard to keep track of whose side youโre on.
first we save their lives, then we let them prove that they deserve it.
so itโs okay for me to be the monster, but not you, right?
your mistake was power - liking it. itโs the kiss of death.ย
one garden. two serpents. eden never stood a chance.ย
