“If we lived in a State where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us good, and greed would make us saintly. And we'd live like animals or angels in the happy land that /needs/ no heroes. But since in fact we see that avarice, anger, envy, pride, sloth, lust and stupidity commonly profit far beyond humility, chastity, fortitude, justice and thought, and have to choose, to be human at all... why then perhaps we /must/ stand fast a little --even at the risk of being heroes.”
― Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons: A Play in Two Acts

“And finally this question

The mystery of whose story it
will be.

Of who draws the curtain.

Who is it that chooses our steps
in the dance?

Who drives us mad?

Lashes us with whips
and crowning us
with victory when we
survive the impossible.

Who is it... that does all these things?

Who honors those we love for the
very life we live?

Who sends monsters to kill us, and
at the same time sings that we'll
never die?

Who teaches us what's real and how to
laugh at lies?

Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend?

Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?

It's you...

You have all the weapons you need...

Now fight!”
― Zack Snyder Sucker Punch
