Frequently Asked Questions

What do these "Fight" quotes focus on?
These quotes take "fight" in a political and philosophical direction — arguing for a united Europe, opposing imperialism both abroad and at home, defending civil liberties, and insisting that freedom be extended to everyone equally.
Is there a quote about a united Europe?
Yes, one quote argues that forming "a United States of Europe" would be worth fighting for, since it would let "all our old traditions" remain intact within such a union. For more on this kind of principled stance, see the Fighter quotes page.
Is there a quote about imperialism?
Yes, one quote states plainly that it's becoming clear to "thoughtful Americans that we cannot fight the forces and ideas of imperialism abroad and maintain any form of imperialism at home." It's presented as the quote's own stated political position, without further commentary. For related themes, see the Conflict quotes page.
Is there a quote about defending civil liberties?
Yes, one quote calls on citizens to "fight in their incipient stages all movements by government or party or pressure groups that seek to limit the legitimate liberties of any of our fellow citizens." It frames civil liberties as something to defend early, before restrictions take hold. For more intense, high-stakes moments, see the Fight Scene quotes page.
Is there a quote about freedom applying to everyone equally?
Yes, one quote calls freedom "an indivisible word" and argues that enjoying and fighting for it means being willing to "extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not." For more on this theme, see the Fighting quotes page.

Other entries insist that fighting for legitimate liberties means extending them to everyone, regardless of wealth or agreement. See also Conflict quotes and Fighting quotes.
