Never confuse the battle with the war.
Love is the most powerful weapon of war.
In war, there are no attachments. Only then can you fight without your hands tied.
In war, technology and wealth are no guarantee of victory. What matters is the will to win.
In war as in life, Joe, sacrifices have to be made.
In this war, the innocent always seemed to be the ones who got hurt.
I don’t ever remember a time when Earth, Mars and the Belt weren’t fighting. The sides change sometimes. What we think we’re fighting for. Who we tell ourselves are the good people. But it just seems we can’t ever stop fighting war after war after war. It’s part of being human. An ugly part, but I don’t think it will ever change. Technology certainly hasn’t changed it. Guns. Railguns. Nuclear bombs. No weapon ever brings peace.
I came to set the record straight. You were right about one thing, Dragon. There was a battle raging inside Regina. And she may have won the fight, but this is a war. And it’s just begun. The Queen is back.
Funny thing, war: never have so many suffered so much so so few could be so happy.
From my youth on Vulcan, I was raised to believe that service was my purpose. And I carried that conviction to Starfleet. I dreamed of a day when I would command my own vessel, and further the noble objectives of this great institution. That dream is over. The only ship I know in ruins. My crew… gone. My captain… my friend. I wanted to protect them from war, from the enemy. And now we are at war and I am the enemy.
For thousands of years the human mind has been at war with itself. Religion, Marxism, fascism, capitalism. Sound ideas in theory, but each defeated by an essential flaw in the human psyche.
Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain’t no going back. I mean, s***, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.
