Remy: The damn Landrys. They're not going to stop, Charley.
Charley: Yeah, you're right. They're not going to stop until I stop them.
Nova: Board room's just not my style.
Mother Brown: It ain't about your style. It's about doing what needs to be done when it needs to be done.
Student: It's just part of history.
Micah: Maybe you see history, all I see is hate.
Student: Okay. What's the alternative? We erase it? My take on it is if we pretend the Confederacy never existed then we forget how far we've come.

Blessed doesn't mean your life is cherries. It means even when it isn't you keep at it. Even after you mess up bad, people still want to see you be okay. Nine times your father and I came down her looking for you after you stopped calling. I searched homeless shelters, rehabs, halfway houses. I saw and imagined too much. I started drinking again. 23 years sober until I came down here. You were too young to remember and I didn't want you to know, but the social circles your father runs in; he's a proud man, Darla. It's not the type of thing you talk about. I'm glad we're here. I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad your here. We're blessed. We love each other and it is that no matter what kind of love, and Blue is blessed because of Ralph Angel. It's the same kind of love. I can see it in his eyes. He just needs time.
Darlene

Pain is here, definitely, and hate, but there's also triumph, and community, and love.
Charley
