“For marriage is like life in this—that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses.”

“Life is like Bed of Roses... Start giving away the Roses to make others happy and you would know what is left behind in your bed for you...”

“I don’t want to win the battle, Dana. I want to take the field, win the war. When I make love to you in this bed, it’s going to be because you’ve accepted you’re with the man and the Master you want for the rest of your life.”

“Dimitri: "You're beautiful in battle. Like an avenging angel come to deliver the justice of heaven."Rose: "Funny. That is kind of why I'm here."Dimitri: "Angels fall, Rose.”

“All you have the right to ask of life is to choose a battle in this war, make the best you can, and leave the field with honor.”

“Wake early if you want another man's life or land. No lamb for the lazy wolf. No battle's won in bed. - The Havamal”
