“We're going to fight this battle with everything we have, and we will probably lose. But then we will fight it again, and we will lose a little less, for this battle will win us many supporters. And then we'll lose *again*. And *again*. And we will fight on. Because as hard as it is to win by fighting, it's impossible to win by doing nothing.”

“It's the eternal struggle, Pudge. The good versus the naughty. ...Sometimes you lose a battle. But mischief always wins the war.”
