Rough Conversation

Quote

Hok and the others had told him about NgGung. They had said that he was a very nice man, but warned that he loved to play a game called “One new thing you’ll know for every blow.” Apparently, NgGung would encourage people he had just met to fight him as a means of exchanging information.

Finally Arrived

Quote

Muddy Waters

You can run but you can’t hide
What’s done in darkness will be brought to the light

We’re heading out to the promised land
And all you got to do is take your stand”

“Go and put up your hands and fight
You know that something ain’t right
Been waiting half your life
And that day has finally arrived”

Need a Reason

Quote

Amazon.com

The older I get, the more I’m convinced: I’ve suffered for a reason. It’s a reason I don’t know yet, but for all of my twenty years it’s been circling me—a forecast of something mighty. There’s no way a person could be born into dysfunction, fighting to survive and helping her family do the same, without some purpose to give it all meaning. On the days that feel dark and endless, I make myself a simple promise: I’ll get out of bed in the morning. Then I’ll head up the hill to class. If I put one foot in front of the other, day by day, I’ll move closer to the light at the end of all this struggle.

Refusing to Fight Battlefield Life

Quote

Your Battlefield

“Someday I will ask myself if I was disillusioned
I will ask myself if I have proven
That I made it on my own terms
Yeah I may have suffered some burns but I am
Living my dreams and I am who I wanna be

But you say life is a battlefield
And you have given me the arms
You say I have to fight
I have to keep moving on

On this path that you’ve tread
On this map that is yours
Well I have to say, have to say, have to say
That I can’t fight your war, I can’t fight your war”

Born To Fight

“They’re tryin’ to take away my pride
By stripping me of everything I own
They’re tryin’ to hurt me inside
And make me into a white man’s drone”

“But this one’s not for sale
And I was born to fight”

Learning From An Attack

Quote

Amazon.com

“An attack could transmit a great deal of information if you let it happen, if you rode it out. Not long enough to arouse suspicion, but long enough for the opponent to reveal something about themselves.”

She Liked To Fight

Quote

“Joy flattened herself against the wall beside the door. She breathed slow and deep. She could die here if she wasn’t careful. But Joy had discovered something during her encounter in the desert, something she had not expected. She liked to fight.”

Flashing Brilliance

Quote

““I think it would be easier to fight in a dress,” says Marlene, tapping her chin. “It would give your legs freer movement. And who really cares if you flash people your underwear, as long as you’re kicking the crap out of them?” Lynn goes silent, like she recognizes that as a spark of brilliance but can’t bring herself to admit it.”
