We cannot kill or capture our way out of an industrial-strength insurgency.

It is easy to dodge our responsibilities, but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

We cannot wish for that we know not.

We cannot solve the problem of terrorism by asserting our will on the world.

Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.

We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire.
