Author-Poet Aberjhani - Quotes

 “In an age when nations and individuals routinely exchange murder for murder, when the healing grace of authentic spirituality is usurped by the divisive politics of religious organizations, and when broken hearts bleed pain in darkness without the relief of compassion, the voice of an exceptional poet producing exceptional work is not something the world can afford to dismiss.”
--From The American Poet Who Went Home Again

Leon Uris - Quotes

 Today a great shot for freedom was heard. I think it stands a chance of being heard forever. It marls a turning point in the history of the Jewish people. The beginning of the return to a statues of dignity we have not known for two thousand years. Yes, today was the first step back. My battle is done. Now I turn the command over to the soldiers.

Christopher Hitchens - Quotes

 [O]ne has to have endured a few decades before wanting, let alone needing, to embark on the project of recovering lost life. And I think it may be possible to review 'the chronicles of wasted time.' William Morris wrote in The Dream of John Ball that men fight for things and then lose the battle, only to win it again in a shape and form that they had not expected, and then be compelled again to defend it under another name. We are all of us very good at self-persuasion and I strive to be alert to its traps, but a version of what Hegel called 'the cunning of history' is a parallel commentary that I fight to keep alive in my mind.

 You cannot choose your battlefield, God does that for you; But you can plant a standard where a standard never flew.

J.R.R. Tolkien - Quotes

 Under the Mountain dark and tall

The King has come unto his hall!

His foe is dead,

the Worm of Dread,

And ever so his foes shall fall.



The sword is sharp, the spear is long,

The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;

The heart is bold that looks on gold;

The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.



The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,

While hammers fells like ringing bells

In places deep, where dark things sleep,

In hollow halls beneath the fells.



-from The Hobbit (Dwarves Battle Song)

Terry Pratchett - Quotes

 That's a nice song,' said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time.

It's an old soldiers' song,' he said.

Really, sarge? But it's about angels.'

Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.

As I recall, they used to sing it after battles,

Robert Jordan - Quotes

 Browns seek knowledge, Blues meddle in causes, and Whites consider the questions of truth with implacable logic. We all do some of it all, of course. But to be Green means to stand ready. In the Trolloc Wars, we were often called the Battle Ajah. All Aes Sedai helped where and when they could, but the Green Ajah alone was always with the armies, in almost every battle. We were the counter to the dreadlords. The Battle Ajah. And now we stand ready, for the Trollocs to come south again, for Tarmon Gai'don. the Last Battle. We will be there. That is what it means to be Green. -Alanna
