Captain Riley Quotes

“«Todos nuestros loados progresos tecnológicos son como el hacha en manos de un criminal patológico» Albert Einstein”
― Fernando Gamboa, Capitán Riley

“Almost nothing that motivated his peers or thrilled his friends provoked more than mild interest in him. Not starting a family, not filling a bank account with zeros, nor social recognition that everyone else seemed to crave. He couldn’t dedicate his life to those things without feeling it was a waste.”
― Fernando Gamboa, Captain Riley

“When death became a daily occurrence, real and palpable like hunger in the gut, friends dying one after another, soldiers stopped fighting for a cause, a flag, or a piece of land. They did it like the Spartans, Macedonians, or Romans had: for the man next to them. They fought for their lives and for the lives of those they knew would either die for them or avenge their deaths if need be.”
― Fernando Gamboa, Captain Riley

“Even though they were volunteer soldiers being used as cannon fodder in an improvised army, led by incompetent generals they hated almost as much as the enemy, fighting a war that wasn’t theirs, in a country they didn’t understand, they had no choice but to obey and hope they lived to see another day.”
― Fernando Gamboa, Captain Riley
