"You're that tree falling in the forest that nobody gives a rat's ass about."
"You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice.Every minute is a choice. Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist."

"The joke is, we all have the same punchline."
"It doesn't matter if you do anything. If nobody notices, your life will add up to a big zero."
"The truth is you can be orphaned again and again and again."
