Considering the current situation, I couldn’t decide between two quotes, so, hopefully not against the rules, I shall post both.
When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die. You don’t know who’s children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they’re always going to have to do from the very beginning – sit down and talk! Listen to me, listen. I just – I just want you to think. Do you know what thinking is? It’s just a fancy word for changing your mind.
- Twelfth Doctor, Doctor Who, Zygon Invasion.

From your fear…They come from the part that hates the Other, that will not change. They come from the sum of all your pettiness and stupidity and dullness. You fear tomorrow, and you’ve made your fear your god.
- Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment

It’s really cool, and very true, but it’s not really a quotation, is it?
I’m not a prick: I wouldn’t dream of asking you to delete it or anything.
