When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it.

There's right and there's wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you're living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you're dead as a beaver hat.

I never shot nobody I didnt have to.

I never killed a man I didn't have to.

Out here, due process is a bullet.

Hell, the truth is that I was named after a dog!

Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, "I love you. . . . I want to marry you. . . . I want to have your children." Sometimes they leave skid marks.
