“Just as some survivors of the Standard Gravure massacre expressed sympathy with Joseph Wesbecker, [Robert] Mack was, to many, a kind of hero. This is a crucial point, because in the case of real random murderers like serial murders, survivors never express sympathy with the murderer. However, in rebellions, survivors often do sympathize, particularly if the rebel belongs to the same oppressed group as they do.”

“Death never excites such sympathy as it does when it assumes the shape of murder.”

“There are always survivors at a massacre. Among the victors, if nowhere else.”

“There are no heroes on the battlefield, my lady; there are only survivors.”

“Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal.”

“Survivors represent a separate species, just like an animal species.”

“Because of the information discussed on page nine, experts now suspect that there may in fact be one survivor of the fire, but the survivor's whereabouts are unknown.”

“The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

“Survivors have responsibilities.”

“Being the survivor stinks.”
