“What man dare, I dare.
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
And dare me to the desert with thy sword.”

There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.”
