“Ain’t no kinda real man in that crowd. If they’re holdin’ a gun, we shoot’em. If they’re hurtin’ anybody, we shoot’em. If they’re stealin’, we shoot’em. If they threaten any women or kids, we shoot’em. If they’re still alive, we shoot’em again. That ‘bout covers it, don’t it?”
― N.C. Reed, Odd Billy Todd

“Each and every one of these people was somebody’s adored offspring, a new life they brought into creation. We may despise the things they did, but each was something unique, that has never existed before and never will again. We honor that, celebrating the potential that each realized during their time, and mourning the potential that each did not.”
― J.N. Chaney, Hand of Fate
