"So what if I'd spare him? In my mind it's the certainty in myself that I possess which allows me to have that kind of mercy or compassion. There's no wavering on that point. It's fixed like the stars. The fact is I'm never gonna be killed! So remember this: mercy and compassion are virtues that only the strong are privileged to possess. And I am strong."

"Now, dear Uncle, there's a certain person that I'd just love to kill. It doesn't even matter whether they're weak or strong.

Maybe they're thinkin' about what they're gonna have for dinner. Just like you were. Right before I walked in."
