Sacrifices Made for Love and Freedom
The Wizard
Poor, unarmed people throw kings off their thrones for the love of freedom. For the love of their country, soldiers trample death underfoot and it runs away without looking back. Wise men rise to heaven and throw themselves into hell for the love of truth. And what have you done for the love of a girl?
The Bear
I renounced her.
