Just a few of my favorite quotes over the years:
"Any nation that would give up a little liberty for a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin
"Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity." - Irving Kristol
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - Thomas Jefferson
"The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number is self protection. The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm of other. His own good, either physical for moral, is not a sufficient warrant." - John Stuart Mill
OK, so those were all patriotic. The following ones aren't.
"What the fuck do you think a hater's job is? To fucking hate, nigga!" - Katt Williams
"To bring about the rule of righteousness in the land, so that the strong should not harm the weak." - Hammurabi's Code; Prologue
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." - Sun-Tzu
"There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wage possible." - Henry Ford
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei
"Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.” - Kurt Vonnegut
Special thanks to Damagiks for showing me this quote (he left it in a comment).
I'm glad you ended up writing this and even if I am way over due I would love to see this be continued someday lol. For now I guess I just have to imagine how things would turn out

189716 No, I have every intention of completing butterflies. I haven't felt compelled at all to write, though that's not too good an excuse.
Have faith. I will write again.
Is Butterflies dead or something? It's been awhile!
123698 Sorry about that. Waiting on my reviewer now (I only just sent it about 5 minutes ago). An explanation for the wait is explained just prior to the chapter in my first ever author's note!
So be ready for it - shouldn't be long now.
