Novel & Cerita Quotes About Sacrifice

I then entered my private plane and was seated. I opened my phone and touch my lock screen wallpaper, it was Rhys and me. I smiled as tears escaped my eyes as I turned my phone off. As they said, sometimes you make sacrifices so you can succeed. Like Ms. Lauren Oliver quoted, 'I guess that's just part of loving people: you have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up '. True love is selfless. All I ever want is for Rhys to be happy, even if it means doing a bit of sacrifice. I looked outside.

I choose to believe that sacrifice equals love, and if I just give enough, they'll finally see my worth. It's the biggest mistake of my life. And I will spend the next twelve years learning just how expensive gratitude can be.

"The Guardian said the sacrifice must be willing. Well, I'm willing. I've died seven times before trying to save you, Xavier. What's one more?" "But the Keeper said this is your last life," I said desperately. "If you die here, you won't come back. You'll be gone forever. Thelma, please…" "I know." Her smile was sad but determined. "But maybe that's the point. Maybe the Trial of Sacrifice isn't about giving up something small. Maybe it's about being willing to give up everything. And Xavier, I am. For you, I'm willing to give up everything. Even eternity."

Oliver spat. Kayla frowned at him, feeling a shiver climb up her spine, which felt like rage. Just like the one she was seeing in Oliver’s eyes. “It’s called, sacrifice, Oliver. And it’s not just about my parents or family as a whole, but because of the countless people who are feeling off that particular source. If it falls, the they fall to. I fall too. It’s over, and all that my grandfather worked for would go down the drain just like that? Nope. Not on my watch. Three years is nothing compared to what I am giving it up for.”

"What does that mean?" The spirit's eyes shimmer with a gentle glow. "To prove your worth, you must be willing to sacrifice something dear to you. Only then will the forest reveal the allies you seek." My heart sinks. Sacrifice? What could I possibly give up? As if sensing my struggle, the spirit continues, "It may be a memory, a cherished possession, or even a piece of your own heart. The choice is yours, but it must be sincere." Jason clenches his fists, but I can see the conflict in his eyes. "I can't give up anything that would hurt us more than we've already lost."

I frowned and smashed my feet on an insect I’d seen on the ground a while ago. The force I used to smash it was totally borne from the way I was feeling. “Do you expect me to lead this men to their death?” I scowled feeling frustrated. “It is not you leading them to their death, it is war, and every one of them here knows it. You die or you live, it’s the order of life. For a great cause as ours, sacrifices have to be made. We chose to make that sacrifice with you. It is why we are here.”

Enslaved. But satisfied. He chose this. Chose to trade everything for community's survival. That's what heroes do. Sacrifice. Give everything. Ask nothing in return. I hope we're worth it. I hope we build something worth his sacrifice. I hope seventy-six years of slavery wasn't wasted on people who squander the gift. Because if we fail now, if we waste this chance, Magnus's sacrifice means nothing. And that would be unforgivable.

How convenient. I turned to face the bewildered crowd and smiled. "Think about it, everyone. Today, he sacrificed me for Vivian. Tomorrow, it could be any of you. If he really wanted to help her, he should've put himself on the line instead of forcing someone else to take the fall." Under everyone's increasingly suspicious gazes, Lionel's face instantly flushed red. His eyes were bloodshot as he opened his mouth, still wanting to argue. But honestly, wasn't this all just about Vivian's so-called tragic family situation?

"Mr. Gardner, as the youngest tech mogul in the nation, you've achieved remarkable success in just a few years. Do you have any guiding principles or life motto you could share with young people today?" I lifted the coffee beside me and took a light sip. Then, I turned my gaze toward the vast blue sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, where a plane was rising steadily into the clouds. I looked back at the camera and smiled, calm and composed. "Let go of the urge to save others. Respect the fate they choose for themselves. And more importantly, never dirty your own hands trying to pull someone out of the mud that they chose to lie in."

He pauses for a bit before continues saying: Issei - I have also experienced the same thing as you two, I have sacrificed everything for the ones I once loved. But in the end, they betrayed me, at first I also feel devastated and just want to end it all by letting myself die from the cold hard truth. But my trusted partner pull me back from the despair I felt and made me realize the word called "Freedom". Freedom to not act for anyone else, freedom to choose the path that lies before me, freedom to finally act for myself, not just for others. And I find it funny how just that one word can bring me so much joy, "Freedom cannot be bestowed - it must be achieved." that sayings are quite true...
