“Letting go is easy. Anyone can do that. Love is fighting for someone to stay. That's what takes work.”

“There is no honor in sending men to die for something you won't even fight for yourself”

Joe Brooks

Cassandra Clare
“Tell me you love me. Tell me you love me and will fight with me.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Lost Souls

Henry Miller
“But you can’t put fight into a man’s guts if he
hasn’t any fight in him. There are some of us so cowardly that you
can’t ever make heroes of us, not even if you frighten us to death.
We know too much, maybe. There are some of us who don’t live in the
moment, who live a little ahead, or a little behind.”
Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

Enver Aysever
“Ours was a history of well intentioned beginnings that end with a fight at every turn.”

Mark Walden, H.I.V.E. Higher Institute of Villainous Education

Jackson Pearce
“When we were little, Scarlett and I were utterly convinced that we'd originally been one person in our mother's belly. We believed that somehow, half of us wanted to be born and half wanted to stay. So our heart had to be broken in two so that Scarlett could be born first, and then I finally braved the outside world a few years later. It made sense, in our pig-tailed heads--it explained why, when we ran through grass or danced or spun in circle long enough, we would lose track of who was who and it started to feel as if there were some organic, elegant link between us, our single heart holding the same tempo and pumping the same blood. That was before the attack, though. Now our hearts link only when we're hunting, when Scarlett looks at me with a sort of beautiful excitement that's more powerful than her scars and then tears after a Fenris as though her life depends on its death. I follow, always, because it's the only time when our hearts beat in perfect harmony, the only time when I'm certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we are one person broken in two.”
Jackson Pearce, Sisters Red

Bryant McGill
“The revolution of consciousness is connected to the food revolution”
Bryant McGill, Voice of Reason

Magica Quartet
“Madoka: Won't anyone notice that Mami-san is dead?
Homura: Mami Tomoe's only relatives are distant relations. It will be quite some time before anyone files a missing persons report. When one dies on that side of the wards, not even a body is left behind. She'll wind up forever a "missing person"... That is what happens to magical girls in the end.
Madoka: ...That's too cruel! Mami-san has been fighting all alone for a long time for everyone's sake! For no one to even notice that she's gone... That's just too lonely a fate...
Homura: It is just that kind of contract that gives us the power in the first place. It isn't for anyone else's sake. We fight on for the sake of our own prayer. So for no one to notice... for the world to forget us... That is just something we have to accept.”
Magica Quartet, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol. 1

Robert Louis Stevenson
“They say cowardice is infectious; but then argument is, on the other hand, a great emboldener;”
Stevenson, Robert Louis, Treasure Island

Ayn Rand
“As a basic step of self-esteem, learn to treat as the mark of a cannibal any man’s demand for your help. To demand it is to claim that your life is his property � and loathsome as such claim might be, there’s something still more loathsome: your agreement. Do you ask if it’s ever proper to help another man? No- if he claims it as his right or as a moral duty that you owe him. Yes- if such is your own desire based on your own selfish pleasure in the value of his person and his struggle. Suffering as such is not a value, only man’s fight against suffering is. If you choose to help a man who suffers, do it only on the ground of his virtues, of his fight to recover, of his rational record, or of the fact that he suffers unjustly; then your action is still trade, and his virtue is the payment for your help. But to help a man who has no virtues, to help him on the ground of his suffering as such, to accept his faults, his need, as a claim � is to accept the mortgage of a zero on your values. A man who has no virtues is a hater of existence who acts on the premise of death; to help him is to sanction his evil and to support his career of destruction. Be it only a penny you will miss or a kindly smile he has not earned, a tribute to a zero is treason to life and to all those who struggle to maintain it. It is of such pennies and smiles that the desolation of your world was made.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Lauren Oliver
“And suddenly I am blindingly angry at Raven--for her lectures, and her stubbornness, and for thinking that the way that you help people is by driving them against a wall, by beating them down until they fight back.”
Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium

Magica Quartet
“Madoka: I'm always... making somebody else fight for me. I can't do anything... Does that make me a coward?

Kyōko: Why do you gotta be a magical girl?

Madoka: "Why"...?

Kyōko: ...This work isn't about playing around. When the job's about putting yourself in harm's way, the only ones who do it are the poor slobs who don't have any other choice. The others who are surrounded by loving families and have the whole world ahead of 'em... the idiots who become magical girls on a whim... They're the ones I can't accept. I just wanna crush 'em! ...Someday the time may come when you have your back to a wall and you gotta fight. You can think about that stuff when the time comes.”
Magica Quartet, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Vol. 3

Guillaume Faye
“We fight for a vision of the world that is both traditional and Faustian, that allies enrootment and disinstallation, the citizen’s freedom and imperial service to the community-as-a-people, passionate creativity and critical reason, an unshakeable loyalty and an adventurous curiosity (WWF 267)”
Guillaume Faye, Why We Fight: Manifesto of the European Resistance

Guillaume Faye
“It’s necessary that everyone does his duty and works in his place - devotes himself to constructing a body of fundamental values - against the common enemy - in a network of active, supple, inderdependent, and confederated resistance - present on every front, at the level of Europe - with the aim of concentrating all the energies of the combatants.”
Guillaume Faye, Why We Fight: Manifesto of the European Resistance

Tony McMahon
“As my future crumbled before my eyes, I grasped for the rope. My entire life's struggle was ending here, in plain view of my enemies. How was it possible? Had had I let things come to this?”
Tony McMahon, No Place to Hide: How I Put the Black in the Union Jack

Paul Hoffman
“In such a beast as this..." (he means the army)"...it was the collective power that went, collapsing like a long-exhausted animal, at once falling under its own weight as much as that of its enemy. It was a collective death and not a matter of bravery or even strength, and once it was down it was finished as a battle.”
Paul Hoffman, The Last Four Things

Cornell Woolrich
“It wasn't an attack. We'd been together too many times before, made love together too many times before, for it to be that. It was just that fear had suddenly entered, and made us dangerous strangers.

("New York Blues")”
Cornell Woolrich, Night and Fear: A Centenary Collection of Stories by Cornell Woolrich

Dejan Stojanovic

Anthony Liccione
“The greatest war every fought, and are still fighting, where more people have been defeated and died, is the war within.”
Anthony Liccione

Yukio Mishima
“Otaguro’s bosom heaved with an ineffable surge of joy. “Every man is fighting,� he murmured. “Every man.”
Yukio Mishima, Runaway Horses

Cornell Woolrich
“O'Shaughnessy is hitting Denholt on the side of his head with his free arm, great, walloping, pile-driver blows. The two of them stagger together, like partners in a crazy dance. Glass is breaking all around them. Gray smoke from the six shots, pink-and-white dust from the chipped brick-and-plaster walls, swirl around them in a rainbow haze. Something vividly green flares up from one of the overturned retorts, goes right out again. O'Shaughnessy tears the emptied gun away, flings it off somewhere. More breaking glass, and this time a tart pungent smell that makes the nostrils sting. The crunch of pulverized tube glass underfoot makes it sound as if they were scuffling in sand or hard-packed snow. ("Jane Brown's Body")”
Cornell Woolrich, The Fantastic Stories of Cornell Woolrich

Wayne Gerard Trotman
“Armon stared into the wild darkness of his opponent and saw a reflection of his own fall.”

—Dios ayuda a los que se ayudan.
Él soltó una carcajada.
—No vas a dejarme ganar, ¿verdad?”

Милен Иванов
“Родих се в морето,
отгледан бях от пирати
станах един от тях.
Воювах срещу враговете си
и спечелих името си
наричат ме...
ОКОТО НА ВЪЛКА”
Милен Иванов, Безсмъртното плаване на капитан Джейкъб

Garry Kilworth
“One should never fight for a country. One should fight, if one has to, for what one believes to be right. A country is only as good as its leading citizens.”
Garry Kilworth, The Wizard of Woodworld
