LOGOS (LOGIC)
“They elected me not to be confused. Six town boys were murdered this morning. I think we will have no hunt breakfast. The people do not fight wars for sport.” – Mayor Orden
“In all the world, yours is the only government and people with a record of defeat after defeat for centuries and every time because you did not understand people.” – Mayor Orden
“This principle does not work. First, I am the Mayor. I have no right to pass sentence of death. There is no one in this community with that right. If I should do it, I would be breaking the law as much as you.” – Mayor Orden
“...but we are a free people; we have as many heads as we have people, and in a time of need leaders pop up among us like mushrooms.” – Doctor Winter
PATHOS (EMOTIONS)
“Alex, go, knowing that these men will have no rest, no rest at all until they are gone, or dead. You will make the people one.” – Mayor Orden
“The people don’t like to be conquered, sir, and so they will not be. Free man cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars.” – Mayor Orden
