Fate Quotes
-
Born enemies don't fight. Nations you would say were designed to go to war against each other - by their skins, their language, their smell: always jealous of each other, always hating each other - they're not the ones who fight. You will find the real antagonists in nations fate has groomed and made ready for the same war.
