“Love and a sense of security are, of course, foundations for our psychological development. The food, water, and oxygen we need to grow a healthy self-image. If we don’t receive adequate unconditional love as children, especially during our first five years, we carry that deficiency with us for the rest of our lives, seeing it manifest itself in profound emotional problems and psychological defects. If our minds evolve in an environment over which we have no sense of security, no control, we are left with often permanent feelings of weakness, powerlessness.”
― D.C. Alexander, The Legend of Devil's Creek

“In combat, what someone deserves, or does not deserve, has no bearing on the equation. There is only one variable—you or me.”

“But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.’ Matthew 5:44 and 45,”
― D.C. Alexander, The Legend of Devil's Creek
