The soul's first adventure is the fight between two ideas: the wish to return to earth in a human form, and the desire to feel the freedom of having no form.
Men have all been culturally designed with conquest, killing, or dying in mind. Even sissies. Early in life a boy learns that he must be prepared to fight or be called a sissy, a girl. Many of the creative men I know were sissies. They were too sensitive, too compassionate, to fight. And most of them grew up feeling they were somehow inferior and flunked the manhood test. I suspect many writers are still showing the bullies on the block that the pen is mightier than the sword. The test shaped us, whether we passed or flunked.
We are all war-wounded.
To those who fight monsters, be careful that you yourself do not become a monster. When you look long into the abyss the abyss also looks back into you.
Life comes in four stages: Born, Fight, Live, Die. When fighting is done, life really begins.
"There is two kind of people: winners and losers. Winners just don't give up"
The only way I can fight for you is if you can prove to everyone that you can fight for yourself when I walk away.
- Campbell Alexander to Ana Fitzgerald
what good is society if it's of no use to me?
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
"A guy who knows how to dance knows how to fight. A guy who knows how to fight knows how to love. A person who knows how to fight will break bones yet a person who knows how to love will break hearts".
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it, fight with your bare hands about it?
We must enhance the light, not fight the darkness.
How could I recognize, even at the last possible moment, that there was something left to fight for and then walk away when my highest ideal is to fight for the people I love? Especially when I finally felt I could match conviction with courage, intent with action?
Reach out to the competition instead of fighting them.
My face set to a grim and determined expression. I speak in all modesty as I say this, but I discovered at that moment that I have a fierce will to live. It's not something evident, in my experience. Some of us give up on life with only a resigned sigh. Others fight a little, then lose hope. Still others--and I am one of those-- never give up. We fight and fight and fight. We fight no matter the cost of battle, the losses we take, the improbability of success. We fight to the very end. It's not a question of courage. It's something constitutional, an inability to let go. It maybe nothing more than life-hungry stupidity.
Aye. Fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live. At least awhile... And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance -- just one chance -- to come back here and tell our enemies that they make take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

We have to fight the system and replace it with a system based on true values, not on a random selection of traditional ones.
