Warrior Poet/Quotes

""Just because I can drill you between the eyes at a hundred meters, it doesn't mean I can't like sensitive stuff.""

- Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams, Mass Effect

"There are few men with more blood on their hands than me. None, that I know of. The Bloody-Nine, they call me, my enemies, and there's a lot of 'em. Always more enemies, and fewer friends. Blood gets you nothing but more blood. It follows me now, always, like my shadow, and like my shadow I can never be free of it. I should never be free from it. I've earned it. I've deserved it. I've sought it out. Such is my punishment."

- Logen Ninefingers, The Blade Itself.

""The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him.""

-, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

"Let a man learn how to fight by first daring to perform mighty deeds, Not where the missiles won't reach, if he is armed with a shield, But getting in close where fighting is hand to hand, inflicting a wound. With his long spear or his sword, taking the enemy's life, With his foot planted alongside a foot and his shield pressed against shield, And his crest up against crest and his helm up against helm And breast against breast, embroiled in the action, he fights man against man, Holding secure in his grasp haft of his sword or his spear!"

- Tyrtaeus of Sparta

""The Minbari taught me, claim victory in your heart and the rest will follow""

- Marcus Cole, Babylon 5

""What value in all Murmandamus' speeches did we gain but to learn that we are weak? What spirit did we discover in defeat except that we corrupt from within? The time has come to blunt our blades and look to our own, to put down the monsters that we have become.""

- Gorath, Betrayal at Krondor

"He was a Scholar, and a Poet, and a Mighty Warrior; and the most shameless exhibitionist since Barnum and Bailey

Lawrence of Arabia"
