The big fun in 'Battleship' is that there are no current battleships in the Navy today. The battleships are about 1,000 feet long and they have huge guns. They were what you saw in WWII.

"Yes, sir." "You barely look old enough to have seen the last battle." "My father was a career army man, sir. I was there at the first engagement with Analousia, and took up my father's rifle when I was barely fifteen." "Saints prese...

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable. - Dwight D Eisenhower As any war veteran will tell you, there is a vast difference between preparing for battle and actually facing battle for the first time. You can be told that reading Victor Hugo will sap your will to live, but you can't understand what it means until you've read a few chapters and your eyes are glazed over and someone has to revive you with a defibrillator. - Kevin Hearne

The one perfectly divine thing, the one glimpse of God's paradise given on earth, is to fight a losing battle - and not lose it. - Gilbert K Chesterton Would you lesson me in warfare? I was fighting battles when you were sucking mother's milk. And losing battles too. - George R R Martin Christianity has always seemed to fight a losing battle against race. - Charles Hamilton Houston Extremely strong, effective, tenacious, and powerful political networks can be built when you fight losing battles as well as when you win. - Patricia Ireland In my early work, I tried to hide my personality, my psychological state, my emotions. This was partly due to my feelings about myself and party due to my feelings about painting at the time. I sort of stuck to my guns for a while but eventually it seemed like a losing battle. Finally one must simply drop the reserve. - Jasper Johns I'm fighting a losing battle here: I'm trying to lose some weight. I love chocolate; that's one...

Music played at weddings always reminds me of the music played for soldiers before they go into battle. - Heinrich Heine The Wedding March always reminds me of the music played when soldiers go into battle. - Heinrich Heine Let me put it this way, my father believed in a righteous God.

And when I saw him lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared.

I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle. - Heinrich Heine But I think half the battle is figuring out what works for you, and I am much better at being a mother than I ever would have been as a lawyer. I sometimes wonder if it is just me, or if there are other women who figure out where they are supposed to be by going nowhere. - My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult Yet man will never be perfect until he learns to create and destroy; he does know how to destroy, and that is half the battle. - Alexandre Dumas It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life. - Adam Brody We had our first meeting yesterday, and we just laughed all the way through, so if we can bottle that, then I'll be happy. We just get on, and that's half the battle. - Allan Carr You find yourself refreshed in...

Now tell me another lie. - Julie Garwood Emma, I'm sorry, I can't help you. This is a disaster. You're completely vulnerable. It's like going into battle in a nightie. - Sophie Kinsella Through the years, I have so many wonderful memories of playing with the Red Wings: winning four Stanley Cups, scoring big goals, going into battle every night side by side with my teammates, playing with every ounce of effort I could muster. - Ted Lindsay

It is our conduct, our patriotism and belief in our American way of life, our courage that will win the final battle. - Prescott Bush The gunslinger waited for the time of the drawing and dreamed his long dreams of the Dark Tower, to which he would some day come at dusk and approach, winding his horn, to do some unimaginable final battle. - Stephen King Ronald Reagan's well documented final battles with Alzheimer's disease were fought with the same conviction and courage that his many public battles were fought. - William L Jenkins Do I love him?

All she was doing was losing things, one thing at a time. - Anne Ursu

I think President Obama is the most radical president this nation's ever seen. And in particular, I think he is a true believer in government control of the economy and of our everyday lives.

From the moment she'd first decided to become a mother, it had been an epic battle. - Kristin Hannah Speaking of tiny skivvies I think that's what you both should wear during your inevitable cage fight.

The imagination circuit is taught to respond to the most minimal of cues. A book is an arrangement of 26 phonetic symbols, 10 numbers, and about 8 punctuation marks, and people can cast their eyes over these and envision the eruption of Mount Vesuvius or the Battle of Waterloo. - Kurt Vonnegut A book is an arrangement of twenty-six phonetic symbols, ten numerals, and about eight punctuation marks, and people can cast their eyes over these and envision the eruption of Mount Vesuvius or the Battle of Waterloo. - Kurt Vonnegut Probably the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing-fields of Eton, but the opening battles of all subsequent wars have been lost there. - George Orwell The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton. - Arthur Wellesley

The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in a single, solitary, even humble individual. For it is within the soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. - Henry David Thoreau I find it most remarkable that we who are so intimately involved in the battle between good and evil are even more involved with the shades of gray in between them. - Christopher Golden The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost. - M Scott Peck
