James Bradley:"[last] I finally came to the conclusion that He, maybe, He was right. Maybe there's no such thing as heroes; Maybe there are just people like my dad. I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called 'heroes'. Heroes are something we create; something we need. It's a way for us to understand what's almost incomprehensible, how people could sacrifice so much for us,"
[⋯]:"⋯but for my dad and these men: the risks they took; the wounds they suffered - they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside him, and if we wish to truly honor these men we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them."

"I Want You" by Savage Garden:"Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal mind and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I may move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball that
I need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Oo"
