― Dennis J. Turner, What Did You Do In The War, Sister?: Catholic Sisters in the WWII Nazi Resistance

“A whining note had come into his voice, the tone of someone who had—in AA lingo—a ring around his ass from sitting on the pity-pot.”
― Stephen King, Fairy Tale

“Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“In war,' answered the weaver, 'the strong make slaves of the weak, and in peace the rich make slaves of the poor. We must work to live, and they give us such mean wages that we die. We toil for them all day long, and they heap up gold in their coffers, and our children fade away before their time, and the faces of those we love become hard and evil. We tread out the grapes, and another drinks the wine. We sow the corn, and our own board is empty. We have chains, though no eye beholds them; and are slaves, though men call us free.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Young King: The Star-Child
