Quotes / The Alliance

"A thousand fibres connect each of us with our fellow Tau and along those fibres our deeds run as causes which come back to us as effects. Everything we must do must be in furtherance of the Greater Good lest we return to the Mont'au, the Terror."

— The Tau'n, Warhammer 40,000

"So full of hate were our eyes that none of us could see,
Our war would yield countless dead but never victory.
So let us cast our arms aside and like discard our wrath.
Thou in faith will keep us safe, whilst we find the Path."

— Excerpt from the Covenant Writ of Union

"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

— Edmund Burke

"I think like an Alethi, as do most of my advisors. We consider the war, the conflict, but miss important facts. When I first learned of Renarin's powers, I though only of restoring people on the battlefield to continue the fight. I need you. I need the Azish. I need a coalition of leaders who see what I don't, because we're facing an enemy that doesn't think like any we've faced before.

—Dalinar, Oathbringer

"All this happened because the Neutral Rim worlds were fragmented. In the end, no single Neutral Rim world can stand up to either the Solar or People's Alliance unless we form an alliance of our own."

—Asaga di Ryuvia, Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return

As a turn of the tide
It is our turn to rise
The force of a union at war
March over the mountains
On our way to the north
On the road that will lead us to Rome
Our way will not be easy
It will take us through hardship and pain
Hill after hill, breaking their lines of defense
Head on north!

Mile after mile, our march carries on
No army may stop our approach
Fight side by side
Many nations unite
At the shadow of Monte Cassino!
We fight and die together
As we head for the valley of death
Destiny calls
We'll not surrender or fail

— "Union (Slopes of St. Benedict)" by Sabaton
