D.J. Molles Quotes
And It Is Then, When The Cause, With Its Greedy Mouth, Tries To Take More From You, Tries To Take That Part Of You That You Cannot Give Away, It Is Only Then That You Realize All Of Your Sacrifices Have Been For Nothing. You Have Given Yourself To A Fraud. And What Is Left To Replace What Has Been Taken Is Not A Hero's Pride, But A Bitter Emptiness That Sours Even That Last Little Core Of Yourself That You Cling To. This Is The Destiny Of The Man Who Serves, The Man Who Stands For Others. This Is The Lot Of The Ones Who Go Out To Confront The Wolf. This Is The Disillusionment Of All Those Who Protect The Flock. This Is Their Secret: That They Have Allowed Their Instincts To Be Used, Not For The Protection Of Others, But For The Gain Of A Few. And Their "honor" Is A Monument To The Ashes Of All Those Little Pieces Of Themselves That They Never Got Back.
