{{Quote|For a long time I had thought that we had to sacrifice a few for the good of the entire human race. I have killed and maimed and caused a great deal of suffering to many people—all in the name of self-preservation. But now I'm not sure that philosophy has worked out too well. I should have been trying to save every single human life—no matter what it cost.|Catherine Halsey to [[John-117]] regarding her changed views.}}<ref name="HFS27">''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', ''Chapter 27''</ref> | {{Quote|For a long time I had thought that we had to sacrifice a few for the good of the entire human race.
