Fighting
Quotes - We will never be on the same page
“The
sword pierced the general’s neck before he registered the movement.
“Just
a child!” His mind screamed as the blade bit deeper.
“Just
a child!” The blade chinked against his spine, a sound he refused to accept, a
sound he had heard too often not to recognise.
“Just
a child!” His sight faltered, disappeared, all life vanishing in one sharp
spurt of pain.
“Just
a child!” as Raziel damned his soul to hell.”

Steven Raaymakers, A Canticle of Two Souls
“It
isn't about being the most powerful person or the person who has the most
knowledge. It isn't about being the oldest person, or the strongest person, or
the person who makes all the right decisions. Sometimes it's about being the
person who decides to stand up and fight.”

Claire Legrand , Foxheart
“Adolf
Hitler had no special animus toward Britain or its empire, and indeed imagined
a division of the world into spheres of interests. He expected Churchill to
come to terms after the fall of France. Churchill did not. He told the French
that "whatever you may do, we shall fight on for ever and ever and ever.”

“The
rest of the diners at the kebab stand couldn’t help overhearing and were now
primed and ready for a good old-fashioned kebab stick streetfight to the death.
They weren’t sure what the impetus for the sudden hostility was, but then
again, who cared?”

you afraid?" I asked them telepathically.

aching, lungs ready to burst, they were both exhausted, but their spirits were

not be for lack of effort.”

Rebecca Crunden, A Promise of Return
“Within
these walls,
That
keep us in;
We
muffle calls,
We
don’t begin.
Here
dancing is fighting,
And
serpents speak truth,
Forever
denying,
A
voice of youth.
And
so, we’re trapped in silence,
Never
to kick free from the viscous prison,
Awaiting
the talons of the next tyrant,
Never
to recall heroes once risen.
Never
to speak,
Never
to see.”
―
Marcel M. du Plessis, The Silent Symphony

Wallace Miles, UNDERR8TED: The Route That Caught an NFL Dream
“Many
excellent sites have been proposed as headquarters for the United Nations, but
the location we like best is the Black Hills of South Dakota. Staunch advocacy
of this site appears from time to time in the appendix of the Congressional
Record, and we have been following it, first with interest, lately with
enthusiasm. Unquestionably, the seat of the new world league should be Dinosaur
Park, near Rapid City, South Dakota, in the Black Hills, for in Dinosaur Park
stand the cement figures, full size, of the Big Five of Long Ago--Tyrannosaurus
rex (35 feet long, 16 feet high), Triceratops (27 by 11), Brontosaurus (90 feet
long, weight 40 tons), and a couple of other plug-uglies of the period, all of
them in combative attitudes astride a well-worn path. Much can be said for such
a bizarre setting. Here let the new halls be built, so that earnest statesmen,
glancing up from their secret instructions from the home office, may gaze out
upon the prehistoric sovereigns who kept on fighting one another until they perished
from the earth.”
