Doubt is like a current you have to swim against, one that saps your strength.

Da used to say that lies were easy, but trust was hard. Trust is like faith: it can turn people into believers, but every time it's lost, trust becomes harder and harder to win back.

Lying is easy. But it’s lonely.

He wondered about himself (whether he was broken, or special, or better, or worse) and about other people (whether they were really all as stupid as they seemed).

I didn't want to get frustrated, but I'm not used to losing. We just had to trust one another. We pulled together as a team.

It seems to me that the idea of not recognizing the result is losing strength by the hour.
