“Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something WRONG is something RIGHT.
This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.

We only get one life and I wanted mine to be exciting...”

“I know that ostensibly I’ve been teaching you in our period together, but on the other hand I genuinely believe that you’ve been teaching me too. I’ve taught you all about good clothes and fine wines and foreign languages and nuclear bombs…but you’ve taught me what was missing from my life. I love my job and it brings me enormous satisfaction, but at the same time I’ve been very lonely over the years too...Thank you for bringing some warmth to my life and please don’t use my death as an excuse to quit or wallow in self-pity...I hope I’ve proven that a man is capable of anything in life. All we need is a little opportunity and someone who believes in us.”
― Mark Millar, Kingsman: The Secret Service
