As the knight of the quill never ventured into the fight, and only snuffed the battle afar, he knew nothing accurately of battles, but managed to pick up a few real or supposed incidents from the wounded and from stragglers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That a great battle must soon be fought no one could doubt; but, in the apparent and perhaps real absence of plan on the part of Lee, it was impossible to foretell the precise scene of the encounter.
You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.
A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.
Anyone who knows me or my past knows that I never walk away from a fight.
His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even... knowledge, was foolproof.
One never really knows who one's enemy is.
In a battle all you need to make you fight is a little hot blood and the knowledge that it's more dangerous to lose than to win.
I can't tell you the number of times I looked down at what was going on on the ground, or I was engaged in a fight somewhere, and I knew within a couple of minutes how I was going to screw up the enemy. And I knew it because I'd done so much reading.
He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.
A true knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger.
