“You must kill if you expect to survive.”

“If survival calls for the bearing of arms, bear them you must. But the most important part of the challenge is for you to find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow man.”

“Trauma is survivable, but often not much more. It kills you while allowing you to still live.”

“You must not take out your sword because if you try to kill someone, you must die for it yourself. What you must do instead is kill yourself, kill your own mind.”

“To survive, you must tell stories.”

“But we survived, didn’t we? That makes it an adventure. If you get killed it’s a tragedy.”

“Desperate people will do what they must to survive. Only a fool would expect the results to be pretty.”

“You must be filled with expectancy. You must be awash in hope. You must wonder who will love you, whom you will love next.”

“First you must learn to smile as you kill.”

“Assumptions and expectations will kill any relationship, so let’s you and me not go there, okay?”
