Niles Pottinger quotes from Defiance

Niles Pottinger

I imagined those wild west movies my father was so fond of, of a town full of anarchists, malcontents, and savages. How wrong I was. Put simply, Defiance is paradise.

Thank you, Churchill. That's very kind.

If you think you can just swoop in here and take credit for my accomplishments-

Consider yourself lucky I didn't send you to the front to die. But rest assured, that option remains on the table.
