“Death closes all: but something ere the end, Some work of noble note, may yet be done, Not unbecoming men that strove with gods.”
― Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses

“It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. Even if there can be no more joy in the galaxy than there is pain. For every action we undertake, for every word we speak, for every life we touch—it matters. I don’t turn toward the light because it means someday I’ll ‘win’ some sort of cosmic game. I turn toward it because it is the light.”
― Claudia Gray, Master and Apprentice

“Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell.”
― Alfred Tennyson, The Charge of the Light Brigade

“Soldiers are citizens of death’s grey land,
Drawing no dividend from time’s to-morrows.
In the great hour of destiny they stand,
Each with his feuds, and jealousies, and sorrows.”
― Siegfried Sassoon, The War Poems
