33	-> "The thing is, Sims was not playing. She did understand the situation, just as well as I did. But she still took those oaths, she was still serious about them, deadly serious, and there is nothing so dangerous as an enemy who leaves themselves so few limitations.... They will go right to the limit of their oaths, if the situation calls for it. Sims and Caeghlin didn't kill anyone when they destroyed Willan's Olympus Mons facility, but the crater that used to be a volcano is still visible from Homeworld with an amateur's telescope."

36	->''Exhaustion has her swaying on her feet, but she digs deep inside herself finds the willpower to shove pain and fatigue aside even as her body fights on, more under her friends’ control than her own. With cold calculation she slams a rhinoceros into the far windscreen hard enough to shatter a hole clear through the window of the Blade ship, watching as if from a distance as the entire craft tilts out of orbit and half a dozen controllers are sucked into the unforgiving vacuum of space. It is with far more compassion that she steps over injured bodies without finishing them off, goes for disabling blows rather than killing ones—including with [[SparedByTheAdaptation the king cobra she leaves coiled unconscious on the floor]].''

81	-->-- The (very anti-gun) '''Tenth Doctor''', "The End of Time"
82
83	-> The ultimate hypocrisy at the heart of the Doctor, which is fun to poke a stick at, is that he's so nasty about soldiers and about people who carry guns, yet look at him: always in the middle of the fight, usually taking command, and I'm not so impressed at his refusal to pick up a gun when he's inclined, occasionally, to blow up entire planets! I think Danny Pink would say, "Look, I picked up a gun to save that guy's life. You blow up a planet, and you sod off."

135	[[folder: Web Original]]
136	->''"Here is a man who lives by a very honorable belief system and does not waver from his beliefs. We have many “peaceful warriors” but most of them are hypocrites. A big example would be ''Film/BillyJack''. Billy Jack is a man who spouts non-stop that pacifism and non-violence is the ONLY answer yet he constantly breaks his own belief system and picks fights with people. He doesn’t practice what he preaches. In this movie, ''[Chiwetel Ejiofor]'' follows his ethics, he remains honorable, and that is the REAL victory. I thought the movie would take a cheap way out in the ending and I admired the fact they went another way. Now the ending may not be…how they say…[[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief realistic]]. But it was very satisfying."''
137	-->--'''[[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Miles Antwiler]]''' [[http://moviemoses.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/redbelt-2008-david-mamet/ on]] ''{{Film/Redbelt}}'' (2008)

144	-> '''Aang:''' But you didn't really kill Chin! Technically, he fell to his own doom because he was too stubborn to get out of the way.
145	-> '''Kyoshi:''' Personally, I don't really see the difference.
146	-->-- ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''
147
148	-> '''[[TokenGoodTeammate Gandra]] [[WouldntHurtAChild Dee]]''': Oh, this is quite a predicament. On one hand I don't want to hurt [[KidHero you two]], but in my ''other'' hand '''I HOLD A FLASH BOMB!!!''' ''(throws flash bomb at Dewie and Webby, blinding them for the rest of the episode)''

150
151	->'''John Hancock:''' Mr. Franklin, where do you stand on the war issue?\
152	'''Creator/BenjaminFranklin:''' I believe that if we are to form a new country, we cannot be a country that appears war-hungry and violent to the rest of the world. However, we also cannot be a country that appears weak and unwilling to fight to the rest of the world. So, [[TakeAThirdOption what if we form a country that appears to want both?]]\
153	'''UsefulNotes/ThomasJefferson:''' Yes. Yes, of course. We go to war, and protest going to war at the same time.\
154	'''John Dickinson:''' Right. If the people of our new country are allowed to do whatever they wish, then some will support the war and some will protest it.\
155	'''Benjamin Franklin:''' And that means that as a nation, we could go to war with whomever we wished, but at the same time, [[ReluctantWarrior act like we didn't want to]]. If we allow the people to protest what the government does, then the country will be forever blameless.\
156	'''UsefulNotes/JohnAdams:''' ''(holding a slice of chocolate cake)'' It's like having your cake, and eating it, too.\
157	'''Congressman:''' Think of it: an entire nation founded on saying one thing and doing another.\
158	'''John Hancock:''' And we will call that country [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates the United States of America]].
