“Maybe you’re right. Maybe we can’t win this. But we will fight you regardless, just like we did Sovereign. Just like I’m doing now. Yes, people will die. Maybe we’ll lose half the galaxy. Maybe more. But I will do whatever it takes to rid the galaxy of the Reaper threat! However “insignificant” we might be. We will fight, we will sacrifice and we will find a way. That’s what humans do.” ~ Shepard, to Harbinger (from Arrival DLC)
I just want to encourage support for the Human Patriot inside us all (well, most of us). We will stand together against the coming Reaper invasion, for the good of ourselves, the good of humanity, and ultimately the good of an entire galaxy of free, sentient beings. A message to the Reapers: Bring it on!
Pertinent historical quotations
This is not the time for summer soldiers. This is a time of human crisis calling for winter soldiers. ~ Thomas Paine (paraphrased)
"We shall fight on Mars, we shall fight amongst the stars and above the blue skies, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our world, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." ~ Winston Churchill (paraphrased)
We Humans Are Capable Of Greatness ~ Carl Sagan (Suggested by Zulu_DFA)
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. The Council may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from dark space will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that Citadel politicians wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! ~ Patrick Henry (paraphrased) (Suggested by Batlass8)
Let the sweet fresh breezes heal me
As they rove around the girth
Of our lovely mother planet
Of the cool, green hills of Earth.
We've tried each spinning space mote
And reckoned its true worth:
Take us back again to the homes of men
On the cool, green hills of Earth.
The arching sky is calling
Spacemen back to their trade.
ALL HANDS! STAND BY! FREE FALLING!
And the lights below us fade.
Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet ---
We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.
~ Robert A. Heinlein, The Green Hills of Earth
