Personal Quotes
You can’t break a man the way you break a dog, or a horse. The
harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. To break a man’s will, to
break his spirit, you have to break his mind. Men have this idea that we
can fight with dignity. That it’s a proper way to kill someone. It’s
absurd, it’s unaesthetic. We need it to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea. Show him what a messy, terrible thing it is to kill a man, and then show him that you relish in it. Shoot to wound, then execute the wounded. Burn them, take them in close combat, destroy their preconceptions of what a man is, and you become their personal monster. When they fear you, you become stronger. You become better. But let's never forget, it's a display, it's a posture, like a lion’s roar or a gorilla thumping in its chest. If you lose yourself in the display, if you succumb to the horror, then you become the monster. You become reduced. Not more than a man, but less. And it could be fatal.
