If you take my own life, the longer you stay in a country, you almost lose your former self and become this third-party person who is caught in between two worlds.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You must live for another if you wish to live for yourself.
You get an opportunity to do something for your country, you better get out and do it.
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.
I consider myself to be a citizen of the world.
I have been a foreigner all my life, first as a daughter of diplomats, then as a political refugee and now as an immigrant in the U.S. I have had to leave everything behind and start anew several times, and I have lost most of my extended family.
If you don't run your own life, somebody else will.
I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.
I commit myself to serve my country.
I would die for my country but I could never let my country die for me.
I'll take any life in which I can make choices and have agency, and America is not a bad place for all that.
