It will never end. Till the world ends in the chaos of Ragnarok, we will fight for our women, for our land, and for our homes. Some Christians speak of peace, of the evil of war, and who does not want peace? But then some crazed warrior comes screaming his god's filthy name into your face and his only ambitions are to kill you, to rape your wife, to enslave your daughters, and take your home, and so you must fight. Bernard Cornwell
About This Quote

In the Nordic society, the concept of a person’s home was so powerful that it could be used to motivate a person to fight for his life. In fact, Vikings were more likely to die in battle than in bed. If a Viking did not fight and die in battle, he would be considered weak and would not be believed when he said that he was going back home to defend his home and family.
