"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 there's a proper way to kill someone. It's absurd, it's anesthetic - we need it to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea - show them what a messy terrible thing it is to kill a man, and then show them that you relish in it. Shoot the wound, and 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 at it's 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 can be fatal.." - Jackal

"Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love.
