"As I said, if you don't want to take my word for it, then don't. I won't be offended, and why should you care if I was? A thorough study of Progressive policies and ideas shows the reality of things better than I can anyway. Alternatively, you can resort to mockery and insults in the hope that I will somehow care and be shamed into silence. It hasn't worked before, because I don't believe I've basically ever given a damn about your personal opinions of me, but...who knows?"

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen, addressing fellow academics.

"Victory over the insurgency can be achieved in one of two ways: either the insurgents tolerate our rule again, or they are made powerless to resist it, no matter what they actually think of it. The ideal situation would be that both objectives are accomplished - but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that the first is practical in the short term."

--- Alexander Lockridge-Calliwell, Chief of Staff

"Real friends don't get offended when you insult them. They grin and give it right back."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

"Most diplomats through history have been like her, actually, or more like her than the modern ideal. Brusque, aggressive, not afraid to raise their voices."

-- F.S.O. Noah Tilden, on Secretary of State Amaya Tagliaferro.

"I'm trying to imagine one of those Californian ball games being played in billowing robe-like clothing."

"... Baseball, father. Hakama, father."

"I... I just can't do it."

"Because you're a racist."

"I am not a racist, I have stereotyped the event into the socio-cultural normals of the society that its modern form originates from."

"Well, at least you know it's British."

"Most things are either Roman or British, love."

"... I'll give you that much." - part of a conversation between Cornelius and Camilla Maximilian

"That's a really big naked chick on that billboard."
"That's General Castro-Stalina. It's over a hundred meters high."
"How many of those are there in town?"
"Just one."
"Then why have we passed it three times?"
"It's a shortcut."
-- excerpt from a conversation between a tourist and a taxi driver (who exaggerated the height of the billboard slightly)

"Baby... Come back with an ideological debate and I'll join it, paranoia... I'll mock that."

-Toots Macintosh

"Cats are just a scheme by Progressives to control all our lives."

"Cats... Cripes it was bin-men last week... *Sigh*... Okay Sallisimon, I'm sure they are... And what are 'progressives' again..?"

"It's the ideology of the government controlling our lives."

"And how do cats come into it..?"

"Well, cats have to get in and out of your house, and so you need a cat-flap, cat-flaps make it easier for the government to sneak into your house using government-controlled dwarfs, so you've got to get the type of cat-flaps which are usually locked, but which unlock when your cat approaches, due to a microchip in your cat's collar... A microchip which could easily be hacked by Progressives! Who could then pin-point your cat using satellites, and then swap the aforementioned-chip for a camera to film you when you sleep, therefore controlling your lives!"

"Let me ask you something... Do you think that's something these 'progressives' are likely to try to do..?"

"Let me ask you something... Is there any Progressive policy which doesn't lead to increasing the government's control over our lives?"

"But... But didn't you just say that 'progressive policy' means 'a policy which increases government control over people's lives'...?"

"I fail to see your point."

"That is not overly surprising..."

"There's a progressive in your mind!!"

-Sallisimon Bugsby and zer confidant Samael Katzenjammer

"I have no problem with what I did, I do not regret it, nor do I think the ones who do have a problem with it are weak. I think they thought about it too much, and came to sympathize, which is not something you should do, at least not in my opinion. It was men I killed, yes, but I am not broken over it, as they were the enemies of my people and would have surely done the same to me. I would do it again if the Emperor had need for my services." - Second Lieutenant Jurek Sokołowski, Imperial Army (ret.), veteran of the Asrani Campaign

"Okay, close your eyes... Empty your mind. Okay, now picture a world in which there is no rotting, decaying feces on the pavement, you never have to skip and dodge over fly-infested excrement as it festers and stinks, imagine how brilliant and beautiful that world would be, how much you wished you could live there, that it could be the real reality!... Now open your eyes and realise that that's why we hate you cunts."

"I've always found it strange that the primary problem with any young generation is that they're young. Other problems arise to importance when they grow up. Albeit, being young is a severe problem, so it's hard to say wether or not trading it off for a number of other problems is a good deal or not."

"... You wouldn't want to be young?"

"What, and lose my right to complain about things like the old geezer I am? Hell no I don't want to be young!"

"... Arthritis."

"Okay, that's a low blow."

"It's true."

"I'll concede that a lack of arthritis makes it a little better, but-"

"Hips that won't give out when you jump. Kids not yelling at you for being old. A hairline that hasn't receded, hell, hair that still has colour."

"... Y'know, I was kind of proud of being old, but now you've ruined it. Thanks for that."

"It's my job to be your contrarian, Nick, it's not my fault if I do it too well."

- Nicholas Phisych, Founder of Phisych University, and Charles, Chief Assistant and Artificial Intelligence.

"Wear your armor tonight, madam knight."

"Aye, milord."

"I'm not a lord, I'm a villain."

"As you say, milord." - conversation between Cornelius A. Maximilian and Dame Zemfira Yusupova, 2008, the beginning of the Dominate (itself a part of the Anarchy) when Generalissimo Yakovlev (smartly, rightishly) tried to purge the supporters of the old government. His mild success (Lord-Minister Edward Patterson, most of House Gassernal's Imperial branch, a few of House Gunther's Imperial branch) halted with the Andiuses as well as other nobles that defended themselves quite well.

"Populism is universal in most democracies. The demagogues will claim only their side is populist, but they're demagogues, what do you expect? Anyone who is honest with themselves can see that an overwhelming majority of elected politicians are populists. They just have different ideas on what will be best for the populace."
- Prime Minister Sviatopolk Obrenovic

"Despite in an odd place at first glance, Palmeran philosophy, a singular thing among Latin America...is still without a doubt Western in spirit and deed. There is an occasionally metaphysical and speculative reflection on interactions of humanity's relation to a questionable reality chock full of abstract concepts or explanations, occasionally ethical in nature and practically made as a supplement to religion applied to law...but that's it. It's only seemingly unsystematic.

Here's where the big East-West divide occurs, as much as it apparently seems to be vaguely parallel to Vedic explanations or Chinese natural thought, there were thinker-friars and monks who constantly tried to out-do each-other. The 'metaphysical' world is divided from the material world in near-totality as contradictory as it sounds; Western categorization and fields soon sprout up. Yes and No become rule of the day and there is no 'transitory' states; soon it begins to look like a quasi-existentialist Summa Theologiae. In regards to India, it at least shares some aspects of epistemology and logic. In regards to Confucius or Tao, the two turn totally alien and are either superficial or too relative...though 'relative' in a material world; Palmeran thought links relative free will and actions to ' feeling bad'; instant damnation (though according to some only in a material world), a double whammy as Judeo-Christian guilt enter the scene."

"The Dhamric ideal of reincarnation is a falsity. It is meant to give comfort to the hopeless."

"No, traveller, it is not. Reincarnation is as real as your western gods are, as fundamental to creation as the stars in the sky. It saddens me that you cannot see passed your grief induced rage against creation to see the beauty that is left in the world, that is constantly being reborn into it. I do not pity you, I cry for you." - part of a conversation between Cornelius A. Maximilian and Suraj Singh, a Hindu Guru, Maha-Bharata - 1509 Anno Domini

PLEASE ENTER BUILDING ON LEFT SIDE OF FENCE.
"ENTER BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FENCE.

"ENTER BUILDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FENCE.

A REMINDER THAT NONCOMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAWS IS A CRIME.
A REMINDER THAT ONLY STUPID PEOPLE DON'T ENTER BUILDINGS ON THE LEFT.
A REMINDER THAT VALERIE IS A BITCH AND SHOULD SHUT THE FUCK UP."

"The official position of the Imperial and Royal Government on the insurrectionist group naming themselves "Auzkhia" is very concise. They're nothing more than a congregation of seditionists, usurpers, rebels and the mentally deranged." - Leonore Reichsfürstin von Metternich-Winneburg zu Beilstein, Imperial and Royal Minister for Foreign Affairs and Privy House-, Court-, and State-Chancellor for Foreign Affairs, when asked about the entity of "Auzkhia".

"Socialists? Oh, come on now; you've never seen a socialist monarchy, have you? A vaguely social-democratic nordic model can only be called 'socialist' as a parody... the nation's power was built on trade, previously mercantilism and later capitalism, after all."

--- Thea Inzali
