“…that day, Carm, you had such a spark. Like it was this beautiful thing. It was somebody being in love with something. And being fucking great at it. And being loved back… You found something that you love. And it’s completely 100% okay if… if you don’t love it anymore. Because the most special part about it is that you are capable of that love” The Bear S4E2 “Soubise”
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this… freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions, that have no idea they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this… the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.
Luthen: Life shows us what we stand to lose. Most people look away. We can’t be like that. Look at me. You need to accept what you’re leaving behind. Kleya: Alright. We’re here. It’s a pretty place. None of that matters right now. You’re just being sad. L: I need to know you’re making a choice. I lived most of my life not ever realizing that was a possibility. K: You’re afraid. L: I’m only afraid of what I’m doing to you.
DM: You disgust me LR: Do you want to know why? DM: Everything you stand for. LR: Freedom scares you. DM: “Freedom?” You don’t want freedom. You want chaos. Chaos for everyone but you. Ruin the galaxy and then run back to your ridiculous wig and little workshop. LR: How confident you are. DM: We’re done here. LR: Confident and terrified. DM: The building is surrounded. You’re finished. LR: And you’re too late. The rebellion isn’t here anymore. It’s flown away. It’s everywhere now. There’s a whole galaxy out there waiting to disgust you.
“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest”
“If you believe in truth, if you have any faith left in truth, please mark this message and pass it forward. This is murder! The empire built this fire. They made this fire and led us to the slaughter. Now they expect us to die without knowing why. The conspiracy we’ve feared is real! It’s here today!”
“Force healer: Who is he? Bix: A pilot. A soldier. Tell me what you saw. Force healer: I sense the weight of things. Things I can’t see. Pain, fear, need. Most beings carry the things that shaped them. They carry the past. But some, very few… your pilot, they’re gathering as they go. There’s a purpose to it. He’s a messenger. There’s some place he needs to be. Have you known him long? Bix: I don’t remember not knowing him. Force healer: Maybe you’re the place he needs to be”
“Are you crying? Are you? Look at me. Look at me! There’s no place to hide. Look at me. I’m not going to say ‘remember this’ because I don’t have to. This is on you now. This is like skin. You’re taking her with you wherever you go for the rest of your useless life. Don’t you look away from me. She was a warrior. She was everything that you have daydreamed about. She was a blooded fearless warrior whose loss will be mourned in ways you will never understand. She was a miracle. And you? To die like this because of you, some whining simpering foolish child. Don’t you dare cry. You’ll make up for this forever”
“The thing I learned early on is I’m not writing for other people, I’m writing for me. If I can hit that nerve that makes me wanna dance or makes me wanna cry, then I’ve got that song. I’ve discovered that when I care about a lyric, when a lyric really touches the heart of the matter, it touches other people. So my job has been to try and nail that emotion so that the song becomes a soundtrack to your life” ~ Kenny Loggins
