The reason there are no great poets and writers now is because there are no great deeds or heroes to write about. The world is becoming tame and sad … - Arthur Desmond

Now what I desire to know is this: If we want to shoot a man and he badly wants to shoot us, why should we not take his property (if we can) as well as his life? Isn't that the way men win a 'fatherland' first? Don't they fight and conquer the original owners and then take the land? Very well then, what is the good of being a soldier, of risking your life, and being a brave man in battle, if you cannot sieze from your beaten enemy, what your greater valor wins and what you stand badly in need of?

Good or bad I propose to be something great!
