"It is a virtue to devote one's self to something, firmly believing in one's own ideals. But that does not mean it's alright to belittle the ideals or feelings of others.

It's alright to stop every now and again, if you want a moment's rest, if you want to feel what other people feel." — Vash the Stampede
