"Some are good with pipes or paint. Some have skill in love. My talent is in making war. The only thing that has ever kept me awake was denying it."
— Madoc, The Folk of the Air
"Demons don’t forgive, and peace is overrated. War is what I live for. I have the disposition for battle and a body designed for killing"
— Sian, Immortals After Dark : Wicked Abyss
"War Is Hell! My kind of hell!"
— The Soldier, Team Fortress 2
I could be working with my brother right now. He's got a dry-wall business in Compton. Does the inside of office buildings - you know, the metal studs. I could be his partner. Said he'd give me that brand new Dodge Ram Charger - you know, the 318 Magnum? The Beast? All indoor work, too, lots of AC. I could sleep with my wife every night, fuck her, maybe; take my kids to school every morning. And I'd run his crews, too, probably increase productivity 40 to 50%. Make $100K a year. Do you know why I don't? Because I love this job. I thank God for every fucking day he gives me in the Corps. Oorah.
—Staff Sgt. Sykes, Jarhead
"Gentlemen, all I ask for is war. War so grand as to make Hell itself tremble. Gentlemen, I ask you as fellow brothers in arms, what is it that you really want? Do you wish for further war as I do? Do you wish for a merciless, bloody war? A war whose fury is built with iron and lightning and fire? Do you ask for war to sweep in like a tempest leaving not even ravens to scavenge from this Earth!?"
—The Major, Hellsing
