Sunday Night Quote No 1

Well, this is something I've wanted to do for a while: a Sunday night quote section. Basically, this will be a selection of quotes thrown up for your enjoyment every Sunday night.

Some will be witty. Some will be funny. Some will be downright thought provoking.
Quotes will be from a variety of sources, and could be relating to current affairs, or to life in general.
So, without further ado, quote number one!

"This struggle, until the very last hope is entinguished, that is what I stand for. I stand for all those people who live their lives, not by some shining ideal, but as well as they can in order to survive. I stand for life, impure and imperfect, and by all that is mighty, we owe a debt to the gods to fight for every last breath of it."

This is from a novel called Taint of Evil, by Neil McIntosh. The character speaking is called Stefan Kumansky.
I like this quote because, well, people get too obsessed with high morality, and glorious ideals. They forget that people have to fight, every single day, to survive. And fighting to help those people? Well, that seems like a damn good idea to me.

Cheers, have a good week, guys.
