Dennis smiled as he answered the question: "It's worth more than that; it's worth—not fighting for!”
Rose Allatini, Despised and Rejected

“He is no true knight, but he saved me all the same,” she told the mother. “Save him if you can, and gentle the rage inside him -Sansa”
George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

W.H. Auden
“For the error bred in the bone of each woman and each man craves what it cannot have, not universal love but to be loved alone.”
W.H. Auden

Rebecca Solnit
“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal... To hope is to give yourself to the future - and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable.”
Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark: The Untold History of People Power
