"Same goes for you. I hear the younger prince used to be something of a charmer before the war."

Rose laughed, long and hard at that. She put her hands confidently on her hips and stood back, out of the way of the horses. "You tell that pampered prince if he wants to woo me, he can come do it on the battlefield."

"Be a voice, not an echo."

[Thanquol]

"Pacifism. Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'. The idea that you can somehow remain aloof from and superior to the struggle, while living on food which British sailors have to risk their lives to bring you, is a bourgeois illusion bred of money and security. Mr Savage remarks that 'according to this type of reasoning, a German or Japanese pacifist would be "objectively pro-British".' But of course he would be! That is why pacifist activities are not permitted in those countries (in both of them the penalty is, or can be, beheading) while both the Germans and the Japanese do all they can to encourage the spread of pacifism in British and American territories. The Germans even run a spurious 'freedom' station which serves out pacifist propaganda indistinguishable from that of the P.P.U. They would stimulate pacifism in Russia as well if they could, but in that case they have tougher babies to deal with. In so far as it takes effect at all, pacifist propaganda can only be effective against those countries where a certain amount of freedom of speech is still permitted; in other words it is helpful to totalitarianism."

"I know I'm asking a lot. The price of freedom is high; it always has been. But it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not." ~Steve Rogers.

Things end. That's all. Everything ends, and it's always sad. But everything begins again too, and that's always happy. Be happy.

"Testing the resilience of these vases," I smile, dropping the one in my hands, "You should look into getting something a bit more durable."
