  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.

  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.” ― Dan Desmarques   “The essential insanity of fighting the truth is that we are fighting against the very thing that is incessantly fighting for us.” ― Craig D. Louns...

  Fighting Quotes - I do not fight   “The day was perfect. Hot, yes, but with a refreshing zephyr sidling in from the west. The lagoon was flecked with small islands, and beyond lay the more ominous mainland, the papal army camped somewhere on it. But here, on this beautiful islet far from our usual universe, a warrior pope seemed a figment.” ― Gina Buonaguro, The Virgins of Venice   “But as she and Rin had both discovered, the battles were easy. Destroying was easy. The hard part was the aftermath.” ― R.F. Kuang, The Burning God   “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.

To release him from it and make him Achilles again.” ― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles ...

He always won, even against the angriest and strongest fighters, because they could not understand that technique is always superior to personal will and expectations. Some of the men noticed his skill and asked to be trained with him, and once their technique was good enough, they would try to defeat him.
