The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it. - Ernest Hemingway And life changes. Maybe just a little, maybe a lot. And at some point, it just isn't worth the fight to fix it. - Jeffery Deaver I have lived through war, and lost much. I know what's worth the fight, and what is not. Honor and courage are matters of the bone, and what a man will kill for, he will sometimes die for, too. And that, O kinsman, is why a woman has broad hips; that bony basin will harbor a man and his child alike. A man's life springs from his woman's bones, and in her blood is his honor christened. For the sake of love alone, I would walk through fire again. - Diana Gabaldon When it is important for you to say something and you find a vehicle to say it, then go for it. It is so rare when that happens so I think every minute spent fighting for it is always worth it. Even if nothing ends up happening, it's still worth the fight. - Salma Hayek A w...

Because I love you, we share each other's problems. When we fight, we fight together. I'm going to be by your side no matter what, whether you like it or not. That's what love is, Alex. You never have to face anything alone again. And I get what you're saying. I don't agree with it, but I will support you in any way I can. - Jennifer L Armentrout Don't say that. I cherish every moment i've had with you. Every single one, okay? Even when we fight. Don't wish it away. Maybe we wouldn't be us if things had been different. And i want this...the way it is between us now is worth all of the waiting and longing. - Kahlen Aymes When we fight upstream against a rocky undercurrent, every foothold takes on a kind of urgency. - Arthur Golden Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future. - Bob Riley

I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings. - Paulo Coelho We may fight against what is wrong, but if we allow ourselves to hate, that is to insure our spiritual defeat and our likeness to what we hate. - George William Russell

In these times we fight for ideas and newspapers are our fortress. - Heinrich Heine Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West! - J R R Tolkien The Good Fight is the one that we fight in the name of our dreams. - Paulo Coelho What if we just acknowledged that we have a bad relationship, and we stuck it out, anyway? What if we admitted that we make each other nuts, we fight constantly and hardly ever have sex, but we can't live without each other, so we deal with it? And then we could spend our lives together -- in misery, but happy to not be apart. - E...

City people. They may know how to street fight but they don't know how to wade through manure. - Melina Marchetta The best ally you can have in breaking up a street fight is a grandmother. - Joe Bob Briggs There are other special problems connected with the discovery of ancient cities. Alexandria was ravaged by fires and street fighting, and its ancient waterfront is underwater. Some discoveries at Pompeii were not revealed for many decades, because the wall paintings are so pornographic. - Norman F Cantor I felt a strange tightness coming over me, and I reacted instinctively for the first time in a long, long while by slipping my notebook into my belt and reaching down to take off my watch. The first thing to go in a street fight is your watch, and once you've lost a few, you develop a certain instinct that lets you know when it's time to get the thing off your wrist and into a safe pocket. - Hunter S Thompson I liked looking on at other people in crucial situations...

Yeah, you better run home to your mama. Hide under her skirts until you grow enough balls to stand and fight. (Fang) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them. - Clara Barton The society whose citizens are willing to stand and fight is the one with the best chance of surviving long enough for history to even notice. - Orson Scott Card Sooner or later even the fastest runners have to stand and fight. - Stephen King I started to make a study of the art of war and revolution and, whilst abroad, underwent a course in military training. If there was to be guerrilla warfare, I wanted to be able to stand and fight with my people and to share the hazards of war with them. - Nelson Mandela I am no coward sir! I shall stand and fight!" "Well, I am," said Sal. "So can we go... please? - Alex Scarrow I want to encourage our people, to educate our people to have ...

I know that words cannot move mountains, but they can move the multitude - we've proven that time and time again. People are more ready to fight and die for a word than for anything else. Words shape thought, stir feeling, and force action. They kill and revive, corrupt and cure. - Dan Abnett He stepped around me until he and Kale were nose to nose. Even though I knew it was the remnants of the storm, I could almost imagine the lightning overhead as sparks rising from the shoulders of each boy. Clashing Titans ready to fight to the death. - Jus Accardo Defoe says that there were a hundred thousand country fellows in his time ready to fight to the death against popery, without knowing whether popery was a man or a horse. - William Hazlitt If you're sitting in that audience ready to fight me from the very beginning, I'm going to have a hard time getting to you. But if you've got a heart at all, I'm going to get it. - Betty Carter Excuse me, Scopus," Beric sa...

There were times when I had great times with my brothers, pillow fights and things, but I was, used to always cry from loneliness. - Michael Jackson A blanket can be wrapped around one's head and used as a helmet. It's particularly appropriate if you wear your blanket helmet during a pillow fight with me, because unbeknownst to you, I'll have a brick stuffed at the bottom of my pillowcase. - Jarod Kintz I'm not saying you're weak, but you brawl like a couple of girls having a pillow fight. - Andrew Sturm

Say, you told me you thought Les Miserables was the greatest novel ever written. I think Vanity Fair is the greatest. Let's fight. - Joe Willard - Maud Hart Lovelace What the hell does liberty mean anyhow? It's just a word like house or table or any other word. Only it's a special kind of word. A guy says house and he can point to a house to prove it. But a guy says come on let's fight for liberty and he can't show you liberty. He can't prove the thing he is talking about so how in the hell can he be telling you to fight for it? - Dalton Trumbo

Some people really need to be taught some manners," he said disdainfully. I stared up at him. "Would you really have gotten in a fight for me?" "Of course." He didn't hesitate. "But there were four of them." "Beth, I'd take on Megatron's army to protect you." "Who? - Alexandra Adornetto I got in a fight with my girlfriend," I said. "I was just driving around, blowing off steam, you know?" Well, you should be more careful where you drive," the officer said. "You're making people nervous. You don't fit the profile of the neighborhood." I wanted to tell him that I didn't fit the profile of the country but I knew it would just get me into trouble. - Sherman Alexie There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win. - Muhammad Ali A pair of werewolves occupied another booth. They were eating raw shanks of lamb and arguing about who would win in a fight:...

I've seen a dead body, I've seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I've been a hunter since I was a child, though I don't anymore, I've gutted wild game. - George Eads Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face. - David James Elliott Oh, they're there all right," Orr had assured him about the flies in Appleby's eyes after Yossarian's fist fight in the officers' club, "although he probably doesn't even know it. That's why he can't see things as they really are." "How come he doesn't know it?" inquired Yossarian. "Because he's got flies in his eyes," Orr explained with exaggerated patience. "How can he see he's got flies in his eyes if he's got flies in his eyes? - Joseph Heller Only Hungry Joe had something better to do each time he finished his missions. He had screaming nightmares and won fist fights with Huple's cat. - Joseph Heller It's a small story really, ab...

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers. - Henry David Thoreau Art is accusation, expression, passion. Art is a fight to the finish between black charcoal and white paper. - Gunter Grass For myself, I believed that that 13th of March should see a fight to the finish, cost what it might! for if Bloemfontein was to be taken, it would only be over our dead bodies. - Christiaan Rudolf De Wet

The amygdala in the emotional center sees and hears everything that occurs to us instantaneously and is the trigger point for the fight or flight response. - Daniel Goleman Fight or flight? If I had wings, there'd be no choice. But since I don't have wings, I have to rely on my cape, and a long running start. - Jarod Kintz

The people must fight on behalf of the law as though for the city wall. - Heraclitus The dissolution of the Party - we will not let such a tremendous, big, and glorious party be so easily crashed: this would then be the moment, when we would begin to fight on all fronts. - Otto Bauer Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars. - John Steinbeck Don't you agree? Swordplay is a dance of sorts, an understanding of the logical, most sophisticated next step. Except that in a fight, one must take the unexpected step. In dance it is all about taking the right, expected step. - Lisa Tawn Bergren Noal nodded to one of the corridors 'These corridors are narrow. Good choke points. A man could stand there and only have to fight one or two at a time. He'd last maybe a few minutes.... 'Thom, you're in no shape t...

Actors are not a great breed of people, I don't think. I count myself as something of an exception. I grew up in the theater, and my values were about the work, and not being a star or anything like that. I'm not spoiled in that way, and if I fight for something, it's about the work, not about how big my trailer is. - Amy Irving To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions? - Criss Jami But one of the things I learned is that when you fight for something you believe in and you tell the truth and you do your best, you can always hold your head up high and no one can take that away from you. - Vanessa Kerry Better to fight for something than live for no...

In these times we fight for ideas and newspapers are our fortress. - Heinrich Heine It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. - Alfred Adler It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. - Alfred Adler Some people really need to be taught some manners," he said disdainfully. I stared up at him. "Would you really have gotten in a fight for me?" "Of course." He didn't hesitate. "But there were four of them." "Beth, I'd take on Megatron's army to protect you." "Who? - Alexandra Adornetto We believe that peace is hard-won, That sometimes it is necessary to fight for peace. But more than that, we believe that Justice is more important than peace. - Veronica Roth Before I die, I want to fight for life. - Paulo Coelho I would rather throw myself out of the plane as it crosses the ocean. Since I cannot open the windows, I would die here. But before I die, I want t...

Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. - Elizabeth Gilbert People tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate. But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly. - Elizabeth Gilbert He wanted to write about country so it would be there like Cezanne had done it in a painting. You have to do it from inside yourself... You could do it if you wanted to fight for it. If you'd lived right with your eyes. - Ernest Hemingway you might want to decide fast. We live in a dangerous world. If you see a chance to be happy, you have to fight for it, so later you have no regrets. - ...

I find it incredibly romantic that people should fight for a cause they believe in and be prepared to die for it. - James Darcy Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone. - John Mccain

After fight club you're so relaxed, you just cannot care. - Chuck Palahniuk The first rule of fight club is, you don't talk about fight club. - Chuck Palahniuk The sixth rule of Fight Club: No shirt, no shoes. - Chuck Palahniuk I think, in a way, I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed, but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around. - Chuck Palahniuk What you see at fight club is a generation of men raised by women. - Chuck Palahniuk Now this is the first rule of fight club: There is nothing a blue collar Nobody in Oregon with a public school education can imagine that a million-billion people haven't already done.. - Chuck Palahniuk We want you, not your money. As long as you're at fight club, you're not how much money you've got ...
