It's an irony of our times that men seeking peace must make war.

Cowards make the best torturers. Cowards understand fear and they can use it

I've always seen 'no' as a challenge rather than an answer.

You got responsibilities when you’re a leader. You got a responsibility not to kill too many of your men. Or who’re you going to lead?

We’re built of contradictions, all of us. It’s those opposing forces that give us strength, like an arch, each block pressing the next. Give me a man whose parts are all aligned in agreement and I’ll show you madness. We walk a narrow path, insanity to each side. A man without contradictions to balance him will soon veer off.

I may be running out of options, but running out isn't an option.

Running ain't no bad thing. Leastways if you run in the right direction.
