Intrepid Virtue

Hail to Beauty, Honor, and Nobility

[fleurdusoir-deactivated20241125]

L’honneur est la seule chose absolument nécessaire parce que, tout bien pesé, c’est la seule chose qui élève un homme – et la seule qui vive après lui ici-bas quand lui-même est mort et disparu.

Gunnar Gunnarsson, Frères jurés (via fleurdusoir)
