Victory in defeat, there is none higher. She didn't give up, Ben; she's still trying to lift that stone after it has crushed her. She's a father working while cancer eats away his insides, to bring home one more pay check. She's a twelve-year-old trying to mother her brothers and sisters because mama had to go to Heaven. She's a switchboard operator sticking to her post while smoke chokes her and fire cuts off her escape. She's all the unsung heroes who couldn't make it but never quit.

Defeat & victory are strange bed fellows,for while the former works eagerly with fear,the later prefer to work passionately with faith.

Life's Irony;Its only in defeat you will know the person with a heart of victory.

Victory and defeat are quick to reconcile, quick to connect and cohabit in the same national space for greater peace and togetherness,

Yenilgideki zafer, bundan daha yücesi yoktur. Vazgeçmiyor, Ben; altında ezildikten sonra bile o taşı kaldırmaya çalışıyor. O, evdeki çocuklarına bir maaş daha götürebilmek için kanser tarafından kemirilirken bile her gün sıkıcı büro işine gidip gelen bir baba. O, annesi Cennet'e gitmek zorunda kaldığı için küçük kardeşlerine bakmak zorunda kalan on iki yaşında bir kız çocuğu. O, dumanlar kendisini boğar ve alevler kaçış yolunu keserken hâlâ işini yapmaya çalışan bir santral operatörü. O, başarılı olamasalar da asla vazgeçmeyen tüm bu bilinmez kahramanları temsil ediyor.

War is not about victory or defeat. It is about the total failure of human spirit. When you see the things I see, you would never support war ever again.
