"Everyone has died, or gone away, or abandoned the things we swore to uphold. There was a world for which it was worth living and dying. That world is dead. The new one means nothing to me. Thats all I can say."
"For me, that world is still alive, even if in reality it no longer exists. It lives, because I swore an oath to uphold it. Thats all I can say."
"Yes, you are still a soldier."
Embers, Sandor Marai.
