Quotes / Inspiration

“Friend, can you hear
The flight of the ravens
Over our plains?

Friend, can you hear
The muffled cry of our country
In chains?

Ah! Partisans,
Workers and peasants,
The alert has sounded.
This evening the enemy
Will learn the price of blood
And of tears.”

– From “Song of the Partisans” by Maurice Druon
