Blood Knight/Quotes

"The Major: My friends, it has often been said that I like war.

My friends, I like war. No.

Friends, I LOVE WAR!"

"I love holocausts. I love blitzkriegs. I love defensive lines. I love sieges. Charges. I love mop-up operations and retreats.

Wars across prairies, in streets, in trenches, in grasslands, in frozen tundras, through deserts, on the sea, in the air. I love every act of war that can occur upon this earth!"

"I love blasting the enemy to smithereens with artillery salvos that thunder across the lines of battle.

My heart leaps with joy whenever a soldier is tossed high into the air and cut to pieces by well placed sniper rounds!

And there is nothing like a tank operator using a Tiger Acht-Acht (88) to destroy enemy tanks.

And the feeling that comes when a soldier runs screaming from his blazing tank only to be mowed down by heavy machine gun fire is such an exquisite feeling."

"Like when ranks of infantry brandish their bayonets rushing into the enemy line.

It moves me deep within my heart to watch a fresh recruit stabbing over and over into the bloated chest of a long-dead enemy."

"The sight of deserters being strung up from a street lamp is an irresistible pleasure.

And there is nothing more arousing than the sounds made by prisoners of war dropping like flies, screaming in agony as they're mowed down by ear piercing schmeissers!"

"When a band of pitiful resistance fighters makes their final stand with nothing but small arms, only to have their city smashed to atoms block by block by 4.8 ton bombshells, I'm in ecstasy."

"I love it when my forces are ravaged by a Russian armored division. It's so sad to see towns and villages that were supposed to be defended at all costs, being laid to waste, their women and children being raped, and killed.

I love to be squashed under the heel of the British and American war machines. The humiliation as my men crawl around like vermin, ducking the JAG bombers flying overhead."

"Gentlemen... all I ask for is war. A war so grand as to make Hell itself tremble.

Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms, what is it you really want?

Do you wish for further war as I do?

Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron, and lightning, and fire?

Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest, leaving not even ravens to scavenge from this Earth!?"

"Letzes Battalion: Krieg! Krieg! Krieg, krieg, krieg, krieg, krieg, krieg!""

"The Major: Very well. Then krieg is what you shall have.

We are a clenched fist, ready to strike down all who oppose us with our might.

But..after enduring over half a century wallowing in the darkness, for us a simple "ordinary" war will no longer be sufficient.

We need a MASSIVE war! A war beyond any other that man's history has never known!"

"We are but a single battalion.. The remnants of a defeated army numbering less than a thousand strong.

However, I believe that each of you old warriors is equal to a thousand of their sickly soft children!

We represent a force that could easily defeat an army of a million and one men!

It is time for them to awake the ones who sent us screaming into oblivion, and who now lie sleeping.

Let's drag them out of bed by the hair, and remind them of what we are!"

"We will remind them of what it feels like to live in fear.

We will remind them of the sound our jackboots make against their throats.

We will remind them that there are more things between Heaven and Hell than are dreamt of in their philosophy."

"Our Kampfgruppe of one thousand vampires is going to burn this world down to ash.

Yes, my friends! Soon, Europe's charred remains will illuminate the night sky!

I have brought you all back just as I promised I would. Back to our favorite battlefield. Back to our beloved war!

At last, the sea lion has crossed the ocean and is heading up the hill!"

"Attention soldiers of the Millennium battalion, this is a message from your commander."

"Friends..."

"Let's bring them Hell."

"Born in New Zealand in '64,

a hot-headed actor named Russell Crowe.

He loves to act, but he loves one thing more:

Fightin' round the world!

He fights his directors and he fights his fans,

If there's two things he loves, it's fighting and

Fightin' round the world!

Making movies and making music and

Fighting round the world!

"You seek to get rid of the nightmares? They never go away Snake. Once you have been on the battlefield, tasted the thrills, the exhilaration, the tension... It all becomes part of you.

People like you and I we care nothing for power, money, or even sex... only WAR!""

- Big Boss, from the Metal Gear Solid series.

"Smell that? You smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end..."

"There's something rather comforting about facing death like this, wouldn't you agree? It's all I can think about. Rank. Personal history, and birth. Race. Sex. The name given to you...it's all meaningless. This is the only thing that's real. To fight on behalf of my own life and nothing more."

"What do you think a knight is for, girl? You think it's all taking favors from ladies and looking fine in a gold plate? Knights are for killing. I killed my first man at twelve. I've lost count of how many I've killed since then. High lords with old names, fat rich men dressed in velvet, knights puffed up like bladders with their honors, yes, and women and children, too--they're all meat, and I'm the butcher. Let them have their lands and their gods and their gold. Let them have their sers."
