The Black Company

I recently found an old paper of mine from the college days. I loved this quote then, I still love it today.

"Every ruler makes enemies. [There are no exceptions.] ... If one chooses sides on emotion. then the Rebel is the guy to go with. He is fighting for everything men claim to honour: freedom, independence, truth, the right ... all the subjective illusions, all the eternal trigger words. ...

There are no self-proclaimed villains, only regiments of self-proclaimed saints. Victorious historians rule where good or evil lies."
