“Maxim 70:
Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.

-The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries”
Howard Tayler

“When I assumed this great task I laid hold of eternity at the same time. I lift my head boldly to the threatening stony heights, to the roaring cataract, to the crashing clouds in their fire-red sea. […] ‘I defy your power! Rain everything down upon me! You earth, and you, heaven, mingle all of your elements in wild tumult. Foam and roar, and in savage combat pulverize the last dust mote of that body which I call my own. Along with its own unyielding project, my will shall hover boldly and indifferently above the wreckage of the universe. For I have seized my vocation, and it is more permanent than you.”
J.G. Fichte

“Bartender: "Listen to me. This is real freedom, freedom to own property, make a profit, make your life. The West, so afraid of strong government, now has no government. Only financial power."

JC Denton: "Our governments have limited power by design."

Bartender: "Rheroric... And you belive it! Don't you know where those slogans come from? Well-paid researchers -- how do you say it? -- "think tanks," funded by big businesses. What is that? "A think tank"? It's privately-funded propagandea. The Trilateral Commission in the United States, for instance.”
Sheldon Pacotti, Chris Todd , and Austin Grossman

“We weep for a bird’s cry, but not for a fish’s blood. Blessed are those with a voice.”
