The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed. - Ernest Hemingway

[text ID: Brooklyn's too cold tonight
& all my friends are three years away.
My mother said I could be anything
I wanted — but I chose to live.]

The houses were not Hamas. The kids were not Hamas. Their clothes and toys were not Hamas. The neighborhood was not Hamas. The air was not Hamas. Our ears were not Hamas. Our eyes were not Hamas. The one who ordered the killing, the one who pressed the button thought only of Hamas.
— Mosab Abu Toha, from "The Wounds," Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear

Cody: *pinching the bridge of his nose* General, I /know/ you know how to use a blaster-
Obi-Wan: *guiltily* yes.
Cody: I have even seen you use them in practice with the men-
Obi-Wan: correct.
Cody: And yet. You threw it.
Obi-Wan: …yes.
Cody: …why did you throw it?
Obi-Wan: Well. You see-
Cody: oh god-
Obi-Wan: Palpatine was a Sith. He expected a lot of things from that fight. Maybe he expected to turn my sweet baby Anakin-
Cody: Ew-
Obi-Wan: -on us and use him, maybe he expected me to come at him with a saber, maybe he expected me to shoot him.
Cody: So you didn’t think he’d expect you to throw a blaster. You couldn’t have even chosen a granade?
Obi-Wan: Listen. He could have thrown one back at us. The force said throw the blaster and grab my sweet baby Padawan out of dodge and let Fox knife him. It worked!
Cody: Force give me patience so I don’t strangle my ven’riduur-
Obi-Wan: *perks up* So we’re still engaged?
Cody: You aren’t getting rid of me that fast, dikut.
