"I could see how someone might think that humanity deserves to survive, but I wasn't sure."

"The way to be a leader is to have people want to follow you."

"I didn't start this war, and I won't end it by losing."

"They're not even human. We're not even human anymore."

"You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death."

"I am not the boy you wanted me to be."

"I didn't want to win. I just didn't want to lose."

"I understand them. Now I can kill them."

"Being a leader means being willing to make the hard choices."

"The gate is down. The game is over."

"I was just playing the game."

"I didn't sign up for this war."

"They made me what I needed to be."

"I have to live with what I've done."

"I am no longer the boy they trained me to be."

"I think like a child thinks"

"In the moment of victory, I am defeated"

"The only way to end this is to win"

"I don't want to be a leader. I want to go home"

"I am not what you wanted. I am what you got"

"To know another person is to love them"

"I cannot lead if I do not understand"

"They made me into a weapon"

"Winning is not everything it is cracked up to be"

"The enemy's gate is down"

"I should have known I was not truly talking to Mazer"

"The way to win is never to fight, or to fight so very carefully that you win without fighting."

"To become truly powerful, you must first understand your own limitations."

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, I destroy him."

"I am not a killer. I never wanted any of this."
