“THE GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT IS WINNING ALL THE BATTLES THEN LOSING THE WAR”
― Mouloud Benzadi

“I'll have no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker. There's tens o'thousands dead on your account.”
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood

“My mother always said to me, be brave there are going to be battles.”
― Qamar Rafiq

“If I am to be associated with your devil, then for your own good I suggest you do not take me for his whore, though I’m sure she’s equally terrifying,â€� She cocks her head slightly, trying to remember the details of their dark anti god. “I suppose just the devil would do, that would give you enough warning I believe.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“Malkuthiansâ€� I’m bleeding. I bleed with you. Malkuthians, I’m hurting. I hurt with you. Malkuthians, I’m struggling. I struggle with you. It’s true, Hod has been destroyed. Malkuth is the last major stronghold still standing. With that said, the outcome of this battle will decide the future of our Union. This is the new Capital of our civilization.â€� - Autumn Antares from "The Destroyer of Worlds by Steven Seril”

“For what do we insist on fussing and fighting? Until when? How much have we lost versus gained in the process?”
― DON SANTO

“I am come, finally. The final curtain and the last song. And I will burn this half-world and clothe myself in its ashes before I am done. Children of the Emperor! Death to His foes!”
― Josh Reynolds, Fabius Bile: The Omnibus

“I am Arsaces, Saha of the -

I know who you are. You are a shadow of great warriors past. A mongrel, made out of battlefield leavings. Do not sully this moment by pretending to have a name that is worth remembering. Because I surely will not, come tomorrow.”
― Josh Reynolds, Fabius Bile: The Omnibus

“I have never really understood our gene-father's obsession with martial glory. It always seemed to me more efficient to simply eradicate our foes from orbit. Pound the earth flat and build over the ashes.

And if they dig in?

There are ways. Saboteurs, chemical weapons - there are hundreds of ways of dismantling a world and its population that do not involve orbital insertions and glorious advances into the teeth of enemy fire. Perhaps I overestimate the intelligence of our species. Perhaps we are little more than psychopathic apes, driven to fashion clubs and smash out the brains of our closest neighbours.

And here I thought you were the clever one. I figured that out the day of my culling, when my family forced my cousins and me to fight for the honour of joining the Third. War as you describe it would be little more than pest control. What is there for the gods to feed on? Where is the desire for victory, the savagery, the hope and despair? Where is the entertainment?

I believe you have made my point for me.

No, you are not listening. On my pilgrimage, I learned much. Win or lose, the gods feast on our deeds. A man pets a stray, and his small pleasure in the kindness of the act feeds Slaanesh. A woman strikes her crying child, and that awful moment of elation she feels feeds Khorne. A Munitorum drone considers suicide. Nurgle grows fat on his despair. A merciful strategist devises a plan for bloodless victory, and Tzeentch is content. The Word Bearers believe the gods crave worship. But the gods care for nothing save filling their bellies with our sorrows. Intentionally or not, we are all meat for the beast. Even you, Fabius.”

“The so-called World War II was a primarily Germany-based battle against the Western world, including the American continent.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

“You will not interfere with me?

No.

Well, I'm glad that's settled. Now I don't have to crack open your skull and claim the eldar did it.”
― Josh Reynolds, Fabius Bile: The Omnibus

“Our character is not defined by the struggles and conflicts we traverse in life, nor by wins and losses; but instead, by the battles we dare to fight.”

"De acuerdo"- dijo Halvard- sus ojos revoloteando sobre mi rostro
"No trates de ayudarme ni regreses a buscar a Inge, Fiske o Iri. Corres. Te olvidas de ellos.”
― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep

“Pienso que nos vencerán."- No había nada en su voz que evidenciara miedo.
"¿Pero de todas formas pelearéis?
"Por supuesto"- Alzó la mirada hacia mi con desaprobación.
"Pero si no podéis ganar..."
"Si no peleamos, (...) nos matarán de todas maneras. Morimos peleando o morimos ocultándonos. ¿Qué elegirías?”
― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep

“Si muero mañana. Tú cuidarás de Iri."
Asintió. No iba a decir que eso no iba a pasar porque ambos habíamos visto caer a demasiados compañeros del clan como para saber que era una posibilidad.”
― Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep

“Thus are dreams dashed and good intentions lost. Everything returns to the dust, and everything is reduced to blind fighting in the shadowed ruins of cities against men who were brothers until madness claimed their minds.
Everything returns to the dirt, and the dirt becomes your camouflage, and hides your face and your cap badge in the dark, when death comes, growling, to find you out.”
― Dan Abnett, Sabbat Worlds: Of Their Lives in the Ruins of Their Cities

“I am not afraid. Should I die, I will go before the Great Shepherd of Lhazar, break his crook across my knee, and say to him, "Why did you make your people lambs, when the world is full of wolves?" Then I will spit into his eye.”
― George R.R. Martin, The Winds of Winter

“Perhaps, somewhere far East where the mothers and spouses of those left strewn across the grass sit and wait for their sons to come home, they think the same of their own precious ones.
A hundred of her own would not be equal to one of theirs in their eyes.
A funny sentiment, one that causes the slightest smile, unnoticed by all but one of those around her, to tilt the prince's lips up.
They were all fools drenched in red, regardless of what deity or god it was in the name of.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“What power, despite being an easy target for hate with their lilting smiles and captivating stares, did they truly have? They were used, and then discarded at her own disposal.
The thought makes her stomach turn.
The influence of the east seemed to have seeped through after all—for women were always the easiest to blame in the end.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“Meraki watches them go with a strange fascination. The men of the east were truly intriguing in a sick sort of way. She could come at them armed to the tooth in iron and all they would see is the body that lay beneath, the softer feminine curves that indicate she is less worthy of their attention as anything besides just that; flesh. That is, until she actually drew blood, and then that’s when they saw her. And if that's what it took to be seen, then she would draw rivers of it.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“She looks up from where the arrow, dripping ruby red with her blood, is gripped in her hand, and smiles.
All hell breaks loose then.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“She went down softly in the distance, nothing more than a feather falling gently against a pond, barely visible through the red mist and dark fog surrounding her. Not a sound was heard beside the caw of the crows nearby and the rustling of leaves.
​The cries of the damned, after all, were seen but never heard.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“He says her name like it's the last thing left in this world, the final lifeline preventing him from caving in completely.
...
He had not realized he never truly knew happiness until he met her.”
― Jo Grospierre, Hymn of The Night

“I am acting, then," continued Alexander, "only on the defensive. The gods, who always favor the right, have given me the victory. I am now monarch of a large part of Asia, and your sovereign king. If you will admit this, and come to me as my subject, I will restore to you your mother, your wife, and your child, without any ransom. And, at any rate, whatever you decide in respect to these proposals, if you wish to communicate with me on any subject hereafter, I shall pay no attention to what you send unless you address it to me as your king.”
― Jacob Abbott, Alexander the Great

“We have to fight many battles in our life. Life is not a one-battle game.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya, Our Nepal, Our Pride

“Dear warrior, the moment you realise that although you may have people in your corner who want you to win, you are alone in the fight ring, no one is coming to save you, so quit looking around, look inward and fight.”
― Paul Bamikole

“The bravest battle fought is the one that ends wars before they begin.”
― Aloo Denish Obiero

“No battle is meaningful unless you lose yourself in it.”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“What can we really do for this Imperium? Can we sustain it now, bearing its weight on our shoulders? Not the way we were made. But we can kill for it. We can break, we can burn, we can unmake. We have done everything they asked of us. We have held their battle line, scored it with our own blood, and it has not been enough. If we are to die here, on a world that has no soul and no open sky to rejoice in, then we will die doing what we were schooled to do.”
― Chris Wraight, Warhawk

“People defend war, but war doesn’t defend people.”
― Tamerlan Kuzgov
