"We’re here, and then we’re gone, and it’s not about the time we’re here, but what we do with the time."

"And if humanity is the last war, then I am the battlefield."

"Are you okay?"I (Cassie) call up to him."Um. Define okay."(Ben)"Okay means you're not bleeding to death.""I'm okay."

"We’re here, and then we’re gone, and it’s not about the time we’re here, but what we do with the time."
