Fighting
Quotes - Screw the punch
“Knowledge
is made organic when a person feels the emotions, experiences stress and
anxiety and excitement and a range of other emotions, and through this physical
experience, learns more about his own nature and the nature of others. And this
makes much more sense than reading a thousand pages of a book that will be
forgotten, that one needs to apply consciously as if he was a robot. One
doesn’t truly understand the nature of knowledge when this knowledge remains
inside the brain only. We can compare this situation with that of a fighter
that learns fighting by reading. Until you get hurt, until you face opposition
to your certainties, until you understand defeat, no theory on fighting will
make any sense to you, or others, when spoken, explained or listened.”

“It
was 2008, I was age thirty eight and fighting chronic fatigue and mental
functioning issues daily. Coffee was my best friend! But the coffee did not fix
me, it just helped perk me up to get me to work daily. I was living the
“American Dream”. I had my green card work visa, I was a resident of the USA
and I could work for any employer I wanted to! But I felt lousy every day.
Getting out of bed was hard after a poor night of sleep.”

“The
way I see it, if he ain't worth killing, he ain't worth fighting. And if he

“It’s
the moment I’ve waited for, for an entire year. My feelings are welling up
inside of me as I bounce up the stairs and into the plane. As I look back I see
a solid line of green uniforms going from the gate to the plane. 400+
individuals with a single thought-HOME! I’m actually going back home.”

“Mayu
watched the princess. “Are you close to your sisters?”
“The
way that kebben are? No. I love them, but we’ve never fought.”
“Never?”
“Not
really. Oh, we squabbled. I think all sisters do. But we’ve never had a proper
fight. Because we never trusted the love we had to carry us through. We have
always been very polite with one another. What are you smiling at?”

at me, I want to tell him. Fight back, because I deserve it. I deserve to be

so much better than me.”
