Do you know how to tell who the enemy is, Cassie?

There are times when fear is not our enemy. There are times when fear is our truest, sometimes only, friend.

I will teach you to love death. I will empty you of grief and guilt and self-pity and fill you up with hate and cunning and the spirit of vengeance. I will make my final stand here, Benjamin Thomas Parish.

To hell with monsters and to hell with men. There is no difference to me.
