Divine Tenacity

"There are so many stories where some brave hero decides to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice the good guys win, the survivors all cheer, and everybody lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see that ending. They'll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They'll never know if the day was really saved. In the end they just have to have faith.--
Ain't that a bitch?"

"I am going to miss out on the weightlifters' annual ball, which is on the same night as ours - I certainly regret not getting to attend that one."

-Oliver Lehmann, head manager of the Ball Night for the Sciences of Vienna, a festive ball in support of scientific and open-minded values and with the backing of all major universities and higher schools of the city. The annual event was launched after the far-rightwing party FPÖ took over the Academicians' Ball and aggressively made it their own. There are over 400 public balls organized every winter in the capital of waltz, with classical and modern dancing.

Actually, I would like to watch the Weightlifters' ball too. :)

The pen isn't mightier than the sword.
Pens don't win battles.
Swords don't write poetry.
Instead, mighty is the hand that knows when to take up a pen, and when to take up a sword. - Unknown.

"Knowledge is like, well, it is like shoes. If you buy shoes yourself, they will stretch out and fit eventually, but if you take someone's shoes, even if they are the same size, they will be uncomfortable. Not at the beginning, however- at first it will be cozy and nice, it will seem like they have survived their trials... But then it turns out you can't run as fast as you'd like..."~A writer from my own country, quote from one of his books in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Universe (obviously due to my own privacy and the fact I don't want to reveal where exactly I'm from I can't say who that is, if you know it then kudos to you), translated by me.
