“For what purpose have you prayed?"
"For thanks. If I must die, at least I have lived. If my companions have perished, at least I have known them. If the world is cruel, at least I have tasted kindness. I had to cross to the far side of the sky to taste it but, as you say, the world is full of miracles.”
― Michael Flynn, Eifelheim

“Submariners lived by a simple motto: There are two kinds of ships, submarines . . . and targets.”
― Tom Clancy, The Hunt for Red October

“When princes flee battle, and knights turn free-lance, and barons rob pilgrims, what value has honor?"

“Why, all the more, seeing how rare it has become.”
― Michael Flynn, Eifelheim
