Enemies Quotes

“I kept the speed at a steady hundred. We didn’t need to go any faster. When you are ugly you don’t need to go any faster than one hundred miles an hour.

And that’s as close to love anyone who is ugly should ever get.”
― Eli Wilde, Orchard of Skeletons

“It was a stick-figure drawing. Two people holding hands. A thin man in black and a girl, half his height with short hair, and wide eyes. The stick-girl’s head was cocked slightly, and a small red spot marked her arm. Three similar spots, no bigger than periods, dotted the stick-man’s chest. The stick-man’s mouth was nothing more than a faint grim line.
Beneath the drawing ran a single sentence: I made a friend.
Victor.

“You okay?”
Eli blinked, felt the cop’s hand on his arm. He slid free, folded the paper, and put it in his pocket before anyone could see or say otherwise…Eli went back the way he’d come.

“Violence is a self-perpetuating rabbit hole that exaggerates problems and rarely solves them. It is a reaction to a situation and not a thought process.

Then the search for peace finally begins.”

“It requires honesty to see whether you still harbor grievances, whether there is someone in your life you have not completely forgiven, an "enemy." If you do, become aware of the grievance both on the level of thought as well as emotion, that is to say, be aware of the thoughts that keep it alive, and feel the emotion that is the body's response to those thoughts. Don't try to let go of the grievance. Trying to let go, to forgive, does not work. Forgiveness happens naturally when you see that it has no purpose other than to strengthen a false sense of self, to keep the ego in place. The seeing is freeing.”
― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

Helion, across the reflection pool, grinned like a lion.

Every thought and sound eddied out of my head.

Cassian, Azriel, and Mor were as still as death- their fury rippling off them in silent waves. But whether Tamlin noticed or cared that three of the deadliest people in this room were currently contemplating his demise, he didn't let on.

Rhys shrugged, smiling faintly. 'Seems a far less destructive alternative to war.'

'And yet here you are, having started it in the first place.'

Rhys's blink was the only sign of his confusion.”

“It's so much harder,' she said, groaning as she chucked the rest of the blanket into my lap and rose to her feet. 'When enemies turn into friends. And the opposite, I suppose. What didn't I see? What I overlook or dismiss? It always makes me reassess myself more than them.'

'Another joy of war?'

She snorted, heading for the tent flaps. 'No- of life.”

“It is better for Russia or Ukraine because they know who their enemies are and who they are fighting .
Us we don’t know who our enemies are , but they keep on fighting us from within.
They are using our people. They are using our resources.
They are using our intelligence’s. They are using our media.
They are using our platform. They are using our parliament.
They are using our constitution. They are using our buildings.
They are using our court. They had infiltrated us. We had been compromised.
They are within us. They are now one of our own. our NGO’s, our foundations, our political parties, our Media houses , our journalists , our institutions, our politicians, and our analysts.
That is why we have internal wars that never ends but results into factions and sabotaging.
These Internal battles are started by these agents of destruction. These hired guns or spies within us.
There are there to break the system, cause confusion, dysfunction, destabilization, chaos ,spread propaganda and to promote divisive politics. They are there to poison the minds of our people. Our enemies are next to us. We see them and great them everyday. While they are plotting against us .
Judas Iscariot is not the only one to sell his friend and he won’t be the last.”
