Sue GraftonJames says, "You desire and do not have; so you kill" (Jas. 4:2). We kill marriages and we kill unborn babies because they cut across our desires; they stand in the way of our unencumbered self-enhancement. And we live in a culture where self-enhancement and self-advancement is god. And if self-enhancement is god, then the One who is at work in the womb shaping a person in His own image is not God and the assault on His work is not sacrilegious, but obedience to the god of self.

Whatever doesnโt kill you makes you incredibly annoying.

Mahatma GandhiFrom time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints.

The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

PattonIf you do not apologize to Lady Honoria,โ Marcus said, his voice so mild as to be terrifying, โI will kill you.โ There was a collective gasp, and Daisy faked a swoon, sliding elegantly into Iris, who promptly stepped aside and let her hit the floor. โOh, come now,โ Mr. Grimston said. โSurely it wonโt come to pistols at dawn.โ โIโm not talking about a duel,โ Marcus said. โI mean I will kill you right here.

Mother TeresaSo many of the models of courage we've had, ones that are still taught to boys and girls, are about going out to slay the dragon, to kill. It's a courage that's born out of fear, anger, and hate. But there's this other kind of courage. It's the courage to risk your life, not in war, not in battle, not out of fear ... but out of love and a sense of injustice that has to be challenged. It takes far more courage to challenge unjust authority without violence than it takes to kill all the monsters in all the stories told to children about the meaning of bravery.

Gautama BuddhaAll the time, I'm afraid the thing that happened that made it all right for my mother to kill my sister could happen again. I don't know what it is, I don't know who it is, but maybe there is something else terrible enough to make her do it again. I need to know what that thing might be, but I don't want to. Whatever it is, it comes from outside this house, outside the yard, and it can come right on in the yard if it wants to. So I never leave this house and I watch over the yard, so it can't happen again and my mother won't have to kill me too.

Dave Mustaine. . . it is difficult for Europeans to appreciate the sentiment. Other nations kill animals by wholesale and kill one another; they exist in a sea of blood.
