    1h1min heard the theme song 233 of the World Cup in South Africa. European white male noble race lustful masterpiece, even continue to promote the glorious deeds of aggression of the empire, negative points! PS. Who the fuck do you think you are? The coming of Jesus Christ to save and betray your friends shows that you are no longer cowardly? Even taking medicine can't help...

    Fight again with pride

    If a brutal war could allow idealism to exist, which side would you choose to take? Is the enemy the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist "savior" Mahd, or the Islamic jihadists? The Sudanese sniper removed his mask righteously, ignored the coercion at the muzzle, loaded the bullet and raised his gun...

    Those were absolute times, and being a soldier was right. A man should be proud of being a soldier, and vice versa is cowardly. Will be given white feathers by friends to express their contempt - you are a coward and we are ashamed of you. People who are not on the front lines have too little and...

The Four Feathers quotes

  • Harry Faversham: I've left the army.

    [Ethne laughs in disbelief]

    Harry Faversham: No, Ethne, I have left the army.

    Ethne: Why?

    Harry Faversham: There was talk they might send us abroad. For a year or two. I didn't want to wait that long to get married.

    Ethne: I would have waited. Or come with you. My mother did the same for my father.

    Harry Faversham: Yes, I know, but it tisn't what I wnated for us. You're all that matters to me now.

    Ethne: Where were they going to send you?

    Harry Faversham: They weren't sure.

    [the church door opens and a delivery boy from the army gives Harry a package that contains three white feathers]

    Ethne: [Picking up the feathers from the floor] Is this your friends' idea of a joke? What is it, Harry?

    Harry Faversham: Feathers of cowardice. Yesterday we were informed that our regement would be shipping out to Sudan. That we would be sent to war.

    Ethne: You don't know where they were sending you, you said it yourself. You did it for me. No one in their right mind could call you a coward. Especially not your friends. If there's been some kind of misunderstanding you have to clear it out. You have to go back to the regement and clear it out.

    Harry Faversham: No, I can't.

    Ethne: Then I will. I'll go see Trench, Willoughby and Castleton myself and tell them it's my fault you resigned. You did it for me.

    Harry Faversham: It has nothing to do with you, Ethne!

    Ethne: Then why?

    Harry Faversham: I never wanted to join the army! I did it for my father. I thought I'd serve my commission for a year or two and keep everyone happy and then I could...

    Ethne: Do what? Wait until we were married to tell me the truth?

    Harry Faversham: Ethne, I never meant to lie to you.

    Ethne: No, but you were quite happy to let me deceive myself. Do you think people will let us forget this?

    Harry Faversham: I don't care what people think, Ethne. All I care about is us.

    Ethne: It's not about us, Harry. It's just not about us. Jack would give his life for you.

    Harry Faversham: Don't you think I know that?

    Ethne: Then go back. It's not too late. Tell them you wouldn't have resigned if it weren't for me.

    Ethne: I would have resigned. And I wouldn't have gone to war for anything or anyone.

    Ethne: Then you are a coward.

  • Harry Faversham: When something like this happens you are lost. You don't know who you are anymore and what you're capable of. Unless I do something this is always how people will remember me. A feather. And that is how I will always see myself: a coward. All I know is that I can't live with myself like this.
