Before I do it, I have to know: is it a cause worth dying for?

I desire [belief] enough to act as if I believed, maybe that's what faith is. Or deliberate insanity.

How can I figure out something that isn't just the logical conclusion of things that human beings have already figured out and written somewhere? You think of …

I choose to live in a universe that has some hope in it.

We, who are dying, are doing better, than they, who will live. For Crete doesn't need householders, she needs madmen like us. These madmen make Crete immortal.

It is warm work; and this day may be the last to any of us at a moment. But mark you! I would not be elsewhere for thousands.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.
