“Suicide is an attack on society--an attack on its omnipotence, on its denial of death, and on its own despair.”

“The skillful tactician may be likened to the shuai-jan. Now the shuai-jan is a snake that is found in the Ch'ang mountains. Strike at its head, and you will be attacked by its tail; strike at its tail, and you will be attacked by its head; strike at its middle, and you will be attacked by head and tail both.”

“No attack is ever really an attack on the victim. It's the perpetrator attacking an aspect of himself that he loathes. He or she.”

“Losing a mate to death is devastating but it's not a personal attack like divorce. When somebody you love stops loving you and walks away, it's an insult beyond comparison.”

“Why were the other angels attacking you?""It's impolite to ask the victim of violence what they did to be attacked.”

“Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.”
