Football is already a perfect game … While the coin is in the air, the team captains should be allowed to kick the officials; it would get things going on a positive note … If there’s a fight, you move it off to one side of the field … These men are physical freaks full of drugs and anger and they’re here to entertain us … Instead, I would have all ninety men out on the field at all times … Ninety steroid monstrosities geeked on amphetamines racing around the field trying to hurt one another.  Here’s another way to spice up the game: leave the injured players on the field …  George Carlin, More Napalm and Silly Putty 

 

 

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.  Muhammad Ali

 

 

Delacroix was right.  It is the struggle that matters.  Not the outcome.  I was where I should have been that Saturday in front of the Paris Opera House.  Yes, our cries were not heard.  Chris Hedges, ‘Only the Struggle Matters’, Truthdig online 2019

 

Yes, it may be futile.  But the fight is what makes us human.  It gives us dignity.  It affirms life in the face of death.  ‘This eternal combat brings with it, as the painter knew, a strange kind of consolation that lifts us up to the level of our despair.  ibid.

 

 

The recrudescence of religion as a political force: because when we were kids in the 60s there were many things that were up there that we needed to fight against.  I don’t think it ever occurred to us that the power of religion, whatever religion, would once again be the thing we had to battle.  We actually thought that that battle was won.  Salman Rushdie, PEN World Voice Festival, conversation with Christopher Hitchens

 

 

I will fight for what I believe in until I drop dead.  And that’s what keeps you alive.  Barbara Castle, Labour politician

 

 

In a fight between yourself and the world, always side with the world.  Frank Zappa

 

 

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.  Harvey Milk 

 

 

It’s not my victory, it’s yours and yours and yours.  If a gay can win, it means there is hope that the system can work for all minorities if we fight.  We’ve given them hope.  Harvey Milk 

 

 

Some of us have to fight.  There are great traditions of liberty to defend.  I am no partisan man.  Where I see the infamy I seek to erase it.  Party names mean nothing.  The tradition of liberty means all.  The common people will let it go, oh yes.  They will sell liberty for a quieter life.  That is why they must be prodded, prodded.  Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange 

 

 

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.  Napoleon Bonaparte

 

 

I don’t think we can give anybody any guarantees.  That we’ve reached a point where we’re almost at where the Jews were at when Hitler took power.  So are you going to sit by and wait for a man to put you in a concentration camp or you going to organise and fight?  Andrew Young

 

 

There is a dawn approaching that is indicating and shouting to us that its our moment.  But weve got to seize that moment and use what we know so well – how to organize and, fundamentally, how to fight!  Tony Mazzocchi, United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America speech 1998

 

 

We have come too far – struggled too long – sacrificed too much and have too much left to do to allow that which we have achieved for the good of all to be swept away without a fight.  And we have not forgotten how to fight.  Lane Kirkland

 

 

As it has over the decades, the union movement stands for the fundamental moral values that make America strong: quality education for our children, affordable health care for every person – not just some – an end to poverty, secure pensions and wages that enable families to sustain the middle-class life that has fuelled this nation’s prosperity and strength.  Union members and other working family activists don’t just vote our moral values – we live them.  We fight for them, day in, day out.  Our commitment to economic and social justice propels us and everything we do.  John Sweeney, November 2004

 

 

Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!  Mother Jones, 1830-1930, The Autobiography of Mother Jones, 1925

 

 

Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts!  You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!  You have the love of humanity in your hearts.  You don’t hate: only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural.  Soldiers, don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty!  You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness!  You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure!  Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power.  Let us all unite!  Let us fight for a new world, a decent world.  Charles Chaplin 

 

 

There are things that we Americans must be willing to fight for.  Do you know, this Republic was spawned by armed conflict.  Alexander Haig, Secretary of State, address to Senate

 

 

Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.  Bob Marley

 

 

For the coming of that day shall I fight, I and my sons and my chosen friends.  For the freedom of Man.  For his rights.  For his life.  For his honour.  Ayn Rand, Anthem 

 

 

My next fight would not be measured in rounds, but throughout a lifetime.  It would sustain and fulfil me longer than anything in the cage could.  My opponent, my fight, would be against the slipping aspects of American society.  Cameron Conaway, Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet 

 

 

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you like everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.  e e cummings

 

 

They can’t talk while they’re fighting, can they?  Alan Ayckbourn, Season’s starring Michael Cashman & Barbara Flynn & Nicky Henson & Anna Massey & Geoffrey Palmer & Peter Vaughan et al, director Michael A Simpson, Harvey, BBC 1986

 

 

He is a man of courage who does not run away, but remains at his post and fights against the enemy.  Socrates

 

 

After a couple of absynths he [van Gogh] could start a fight with a Buddhist monk.  Waldemar Januszczak, The Impressionists IV: Painting and Revolution: Final Flourish, BBC 2011

 

 

Leonardos advances in the field of flight appear neither workable nor unique.  Mystery Files: Da Vinci, National Geographic 2010

 

 

I’m going to fight him; I’m going to win.  Boardwalk Empire: The Milkmaid’s Lot s3e9, Nucky, of Gyp, HBO 2012

 

 

I knock people down.  Hard Times aka The Streetfighter 1975 ***** starring Charles Bronson & James Coburn & Jill Ireland & Strother Martin & Margaret Blye & Robert Tessier & Nick Dimitri et al, director Walter Hill, him to her

 

He sure was something.  ibid.  Coburn
