as she and Rin had both discovered, the battles were easy. Destroying was easy.
The hard part was the aftermath.”

should be afraid. Death isn’t the worst that can happen to you. And yes, I
would have killed you.”

“I’ve
had enough fighting
I’m
more into righting
What’s
wrong when it’s broken apart
Demons,
demons, we both had enough of our own
Demons,
demons, we don’t have to fight them alone”
―
Dolly Parton, Run, Rose, Run
“I
learned to sleep through the day so that I would not be tired when he returned;
he always needed to talk then, to tell me down to the last detail about the
faces and the wounds and the movements of men. And I wanted to be able to
listen, to digest the bloody images, to paint them flat and unremarkable onto
the vase of posterity. To release him from it and make him Achilles again.”
―

begin this way, with men willing to fight no matter what the odds, volunteering
to give up everything because they had nothing.”

Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
“They're
not going to bother me tonight. They won't denigrate my efforts, or ridicule
anything that's mine, won't roll their eyes, or correct me, or cut me short and
leave the room. They won't burden, or overwork me, or heap upon me
responsibilities that are theirs. And, no more than they are doing, they won't
intrude on my privacy, try to embarrass me or make me uncomfortable.
Plus,
they seem pretty far beyond hurting each other.”
―
Mary Robison, Why Did I Ever
“Pain

“I
did everything I could to avoid problems, but I made mistakes and had to pay
for them by summoning all my meager reserves of courage. If you ever ask
yourself what you would do in such a position, I can assure you that you don’t
really know until it happens. I’ve seen the toughest cats bitch up and run to
the cops for help, and the clearly outclassed go into battle with no hope of
winning but every intention of fighting for honor. I suppose I fell somewhere
in the middle.”
―
Daniel Genis
“How
often is the battle less about the battle and more about being strengthened

“Some
impossible fights are worth fighting”

John Bierce, The Siege of Skyhold
“The
poet must rethink her writing activities in such a way as to désoublier (to
unforget), détaire (to unsilence), déterrer (to unbury), se désaveugler (to
unbind), se dessourdier (to undeafen), in an endeavor to displace all that has
been repressed, incorporated, appropriated. This is the poet’s way of
fighting.”
―
Verena Andermatt Conley, Hélène Cixous: Writing the Feminine
“Don't
you get it? They've got no intention of coming back. They know it's a suicide
mission.
Life's
a suicide mission.”
―
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer
“If
I'm going to die, I want to fight. I've been fighting the colonizer's whispers
that I am not wanted here, not worthy of protection, nothing but a body to be
pummeled and played with and threatened into submission. I have not died yet.
My whole body is a fire, lit back when the world was complete, never
extinguished by anybody.”
―
Elissa Washuta, White Magic

we hide, and we fight, and we hide, and we train, and we fight.”

verbal abuse evolved into the keyboard fighting”

many times, through the long centuries of life on earth, has one group of men
sneaked armed into the woods, hoping to surprise a second group not expecting
them? And where has this gotten us?”
