“You can't say civilization don't advance... in every war they kill you in a new way.”
Will Rogers
“You can be killed just as dead in an unjustified war as you can in one protecting your own home.”
“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.”
Jack Handy
“If we could just find out who's in charge, we could kill him”
George Carlin
“Never use a cannon to kill a fly.”
Confucius
“You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?”
The Princess Bride
“Patriots always talk of dying for their country, and never of killing for their country.”
Bertrand Russell
“Firemen are going to get killed. When they join the department they face that fact. When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work. They were not thinking of getting killed when they went where death lurked. They went there to put the fire out, and got killed. Firefighters do not regard themselves as heroes because they do what the business requires.”
Chief Edward F. Croker
“I drink to stay warm, and to kill selected memories...”
Conor Oberst
