Quotes of People in Your Nation Mk. VI

[Las Palmeras]

"My friend likes foreigners. She hasn't seen natural red hair before.

But you're the one who can speak in English and Spanish, not Mikura. Are you fine being a translator in dates?

I like books and ideas more than people. And I didn't have much friends so I spent all my free time reading. I'd just sooner be here than with my mother.

You're quite blunt. And I can relate.

Relate in what?

Why that we're both avoiding our mothers."
-Tsuneko Nagi and José Zorilla, 2010

[Imperium Centralium]

"We don't stand for this. A few people doing this to put and secure themselves in power occasionally in our history does not mean that this abhorrence is part of our values or culture."
-Gaius Magnaverpa

[House Dragonstone]

"The essence of our holy war is to preserve our kingdom. If we are to preserve our sovereignty, we need to rule ourselves. Our holy war is in accordance with this belief, and doing that in the name of Our Lord R'hllor"

[Estainia]

"In a free society you don't need a gun to protect yourself from your neighbour."
-- Mickey Chang

"Mr. Chang, even in the most free and open society there will be criminals who seek to harm and victimize their neighbors. If a member of such a society chooses to place his life entirely in the hands of professional law enforcement, that is his right. If on the other hand he should choose to protect it himself, by maintaining a weapon for his own defense, that is also his right, and it is his right alone to make that choice. Nobody else gets a say. Apart from that, it isn't really a question of need. If a free person wants to own a firearm, they have that right as a free person and have no obligation to justify their choice to anybody else, least of all to their government. If they have the desire and the means to see it met, simply, it will be met."

-- Julissa Hickman, Citizen.

[Terra Britania]

"You know, the race they call 'Humanity'... they can never get along. The screaming monkeys always shout and fight each other about something... usually worthless. Now, fighting back because someone tried to steal your purse or punch you in the face is commendable. I'm talking about ideologies, religion, tradition; it's mostly just a waste of time. Why kill for something that only exists in your head? Isn't that the definition of insanity?"

- Zeus Treefeller, an elf and supporting character in the steampunk fantasy novel Hazy Sunrise, by author Caroline Simmons-Ramsay, published July 2015

[Fatatatutti]

"When you get back from lunch, Ms. Hickman, let us know. If a person wants to own a firearm he's perfectly free to do so. If he thinks a firearm is a defensive weapon, we politely point out to him that he's an idiot."
-- Harlan Escrow

[Blakullar]

-- Harlan Escrow

“No weapon is a defensive weapon, Ms. Escrow. Any device meant to cause harm is a weapon. Defense relies on the mind of the wielder. A firearm is just a heavy piece of clockwork until someone decides to load it and use it. When an insane man has one and decides to use one, we still won’t be able to trust the five sane men around him that don’t have it to protect us until they are able to use one of their own. Authority is not present everywhere, Ms. Escrow, and the common citizen must take the responsibility of one’s own authority into their own hands if they want to be truly safe.”
—Samuel Youngblood

[Fatatatutti]

“No weapon is a defensive weapon, Ms. Escrow.”
—Samuel Youngblood

"You nailed it, son. Have a cookie. And learn to quit while you're ahead."

—Samuel Youngblood

"You nailed it, son. Have a cookie. And learn to quit while you're ahead."
-- Harlan Escrow

“And your reason to stop protecting myself, I assume? Like I said earlier, defense relies on the mind of the wielder. Is it that you have too much faith in man, or do you have too much faith in authority?”
—Samuel Youngblood

[Fatatatutti]

“Is it that you have too much faith in man, or do you have too much faith in authority?”
—Samuel Youngblood

"If you have faith in man, you don't need authority."
-- Mickey Chang

"Nuance? What is that term, and can I eat it?"
-Norbert von Au, impoverished patrician

[Universal Union of Panhumanity]

"It is an unfortunate fact that when left to their own devices, people will inevitably end up hurting either themselves or others. Thus, it is necessary to restrict what people can do, to ensure that they do not cause any damage. Freedom is a nice concept, but in reality it does more harm than good."

~Nikolai Arkhangelsky, People's Commissar for Internal Affairs

[The Atlantean Islands]

"'Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.' Let's take that a step further: 'Those who would give up others' Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety for themselves, are thieves and assholes."

-Random university student

"Liberalism (not the perverted kind) is but an aberration of traditional governance, and can lead to decadence if overused. Authoritarianism is but a step backwards in social progress, and can lead to resentment in the long run. Clearly there must be a balance."

-Deputy Lady Regent Maya Ragnarssen

[Skyhooked]

"Liberty or safety? That's not a dilemma anymore, becasue in "Takeda Armaments" you have purchase both in form of a gun."-Short commercial.

"I said take it out!"

"Here goes... Well you might say that did it..."

"We just got word that friendlies might have been hit, over."

"Don't you dare say that."

"Yep, I was afraid of that. I hope those weren't friendlies we just blew up, because they're all dead."

"I wish those weren't friendlies..." - Radio chatter between a Eurasian Marine commander and the lead pilot in the Euro-Asian Air Force's 37th Air Force 18th Fighter Wing 1st Squadron "Scarface", the former fearing that the F-16C Fighting Falcon pilot accidentally blew up a Eurasian Marine tank by his orders, Azhadstan, 2005

"The madness will soon be over ... the end is finally in sight ... yet it must surely begin anew..."

~ from an entry into the diary of Grand Curatrix Elena Trotskaya, dated 'September 2172'.

[Pilarcraft]

"To consider Libertarianism an economic view is as outdated and academically wrong as to see Socialism as a synonym for State-planned. They all have different definitions, different variations, and different ideologies on a broad spectrum. to think otherwise is merely a show of illiteracy."
~Excerpts from "Earthly Ideologies, a politician's guide to earthly politics and economy"
