Senator Këmi Órria to a stray LGBT protester.

"Gentlemen, my men just killed five tanks, ten anti-air missile systems, forty infantrymen, and an enemy general, all within one day's offensive, all with 245 kilogram bombs. They were forced to resupply their ordinance six times. If they want to paint a naked woman on their plane, then so be it." -Col. Jacob Matters, speaking about the crew of a M111 Aardvark fighter-bomber who were told to remove their "art" from the plane.

"We fought our way through the enemy push. The right flank of the army was collapsing, our forces too paralyzed to move against the Soviet advance. So I rallied what few Leopard 2's had fallen under my command after the death of my German comrade, my own M1-82's, and a host of infantrymen carried by APC's and began to move. I'm still amazed that not only did we break through their lines, we kept moving. -Col. Hixby, from an account of the Battle of Ragnarok, 1986

I don't see why this is such a big deal."
-Carrie Knox to an American Congressman, 2019. 61 years before the founding of the Empire.

[Saurisisia]

"The reason why we're so entrenched in our taboos regarding homosexuality? Well..."

[Auzkhia]

"Homosexuality was such a taboo that no one dared to speak about in public. As a result this 'sexuality' was never legislated and criminalized. It was among the paraphilia that were taboo. People turned a blind eye to it. With international emergence of 'Gay Pride' some people accepted LGBT individuals as 'normal'. The religion we follow never explicitly condemned it, but many priests used to view it as an abomination."
-An Auzkhian historian.

"There will one day be a universe out there where the Soviets are not displayed as blathering morons." - Cornelius Maximilian

[New Frenco Empire]

"Hedonism? What's that? Let me look it up.

...

Huh. This old world reading file makes it sound like us. I don't understand the fuss over it. We've lived lives of pleasure since we were founded. We've turned out fine, even if we ditched what the old worlders call "morals.'"

-Frenkish citizen when asked about "Hedonism".

[Saurisisia]

"The Gods protect us because they love us and they love us because we resemble them only in mortal form.

~ William Apethart, Saurist priest

[Naiveria]

"Hedonism is the philosophy of the man-child. Simple 'Me want, me get' barbarism. This western philosophy seems to have originated in the 1960s in which mere children rebelled from their sires, and had children and passed no wisdom or values to said children."

-Small excerpt from Proffesor Jonson Ana-Maria's lecture, Dean of Philosophy and Anthropology at Arkeshät University.

"The Gods shall protect us against the discordant forces of Eris. She is the Goddess of Chaos. Her spirit is vindictive and rebellious.

The Gods love you, for you are their creation."
-Himmel, the Bishop of Innsbruck

[New Frenco Empire]

"Deep inside, everyone is...what they call a "hedonist". They just deny it because they can't make it work."

-The same citizen, when told that other cultures despise her way of living.

[Auzkhia]

"I have no objections when one seeks to please himself, but I object when he seeks to have pleasure at other individuals' expenses."
-Empress Katharina

[Saurisisia]

"Morality is the most important element that separates us sapients from the beasts, not just intelligence or the ability to make tools or fire."
~ Former President Cera Hayworth

[Naiveria]

"Bonobos like to fuck nonstop, not caring who they fuck with, whether it be their parents, their siblings, or their offspring. They also commit rape and cannibalism, they are epitome of what separates sapients from animals: the ability to control their instincts and avoid becoming ultra-sexualized."
~ Jonathan Bowers, biologist
