"The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
― Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
Hope you’ll join me in congratulating Mars and Matthias, who both picked up wins last night in their superfights in West Virginia!
Mars got a wristlock submission early in his match and Matthias won in OT via fastest escape (EBI ruleset)
Another great night for the Devotion ULTRAS!
"I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountains; I invented a brighter flame for myself."

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To live in a great idea means to treat the impossible as though it were possible. It is just the same with a strong character; and when an idea and a character meet, things arise which fill the world with wonder for thousands of years.”
— Goethe
"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."
— Marcus Aurelius
All things are in flux; the flux is subject to a unifying measure or rational principle. This principle (logos, the hidden harmony behind all change) bound opposites together in a unified tension, which is like that of a lyre, where a stable harmonious sound emerges from the tension of the opposing forces that arise from the bow bound together by the string.
— Heraclitus
"We always come back to the same question, which is the very question of our people: to submit and renounce, or to risk our lives?"
— Renaud Camus
You are not what happened to you, you are what you choose to do.
You are not who you are, you are who you are becoming.
Do you get it yet, Legionary?
They can't touch you.
They can't stop you.
The soul is a city that can't be taken, it can only be surrendered.
“Whoever demands great things of himself, and achieves those things, must feel quite remote from those who do not. Such distance will be interpreted by these others as a "putting on airs"; but he knows it [distance] only as continuous toil, war, victory, by day and by night. The others have no inkling of all this!”
— Nietzsche
"Few men are born brave; many become so through care and force of discipline."
— Vegetius (De Re Militari)
“Difficulty shows what men are. Therefore when a difficulty falls upon you, remember that God, like a trainer of wrestlers, has matched you with a rough young man.”
― Epictetus
You need to find a group of brothers who will shame you for not doing what's good for you.
Guys who will call you a fat fuck for getting fat
Guys who will roast you for skipping the gym to play Fortnite
Guys who will tell you that YOU CAN BECOME BETTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.
“The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.”
— René Descartes
"The global crisis, which is not only economic, but above all spiritual and moral, should not lead us to a state of inertia: the greater our obstacles, the greater our will to overcome them."
— Mussolini
"The new elite, above the party, crowning it, how is it formed? More than ever recruiting cadres of all classes, sometimes even foreigners (the Caucasian Stalin, the Austrian Hitler, the Spanish Valera, as in the past Mazarin, Bonaparte, Disraeli, Gambetta). There are nobles (Pilsudski), businessmen (Krasin), petty bourgeois (Lenin) or children of the working class, of modest officials (Mussolini, Hitler). The universal school is the characteristic institution of our time, where the renewal of the elites must be carried out more and more quickly, to fill the voids that multiply in the high spheres (as in the Rome of the Caesars, which was the Rome of citizens free). How does it come together? Through this mysterious process of cooptation, this subtle complicity between competitors who know each other, which is eternal. This elite will exhibit a new spirit and forge a new technique. "Its means are no longer the parliamentary tribune, the influence of speeches given in restricted circles, but more direct and radiant instruments: the press and the radio."
— La Rochelle
“You cannot defeat a enemy which looks through the scope of a rifle and sees paradise.”
