No one wins. One side just loses more slowly.

Still, that’s not what this story is about. It’s about the day I realised that admitting we’re not heroic is when we’re the most heroic of all.

Lyrics:
This time, I’ll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I’ll be out here on the sea
Just my confidence and me
And I’ll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I’ll learn to get by
On the little victories
This time, I’ll have no fear
I’ll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all
And I’ll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
I’ll learn to get by
And I’ll learn to get by
On the little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It’s a little victory.
Figuring out who people are takes time… And it takes twice as much time if they’re trying to impress you.
- Thirteen - House s06e14
I remember this field of wildflowers on the side of the road. It might sound strange to a Caprican, but there are no flowers in Tauron. Not one. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life! All the colours… the petals, the softness… and I wept… openly… for the first and last time. So I guess that’s what I’d tell Tamara. To find those things in life that make you cry… make you feel. Cause THEY will make you human.

Joseph Adama - Caprica s01e01
Tamara is his dead daughter. Caprica and Tauron are planets.
There are many ways to define our fragile existence, many ways to give it meaning, but it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context.
