-> ''With every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel.''

->''So what's that make? Twelve, fifteen counts of [[DeadlyEuphemism Self-Defense With An Automatic Weapon]]? I'm losing count, and I don't think the cops are going to buy it. I better just keep quiet about this when I get out. I'll have to fight my urges to brag about it when I get a new job.''

-> ''Just. Gets. Easier.''

->''You know the first time, the first time you do it? You're scared. Blood's pumping. Your head's going a hundred miles an hour. You feel such power and strength. And after you get that feeling, you just want to do it again and again. It's like a drug. Each time it gets a little easier. First girl, I couldn't look in her eyes. I had to turn away, but now, it is so fucking routine. I can look right at you, I can stare right through you, and I can pull this fucking trigger.''

->''Unfortunately, killing is just one of those things that gets easier the more you do it.''

->Of course, the best way to fight [[EnemyWithin the Beast]] is to keep oneself in fighting trim, and that means eating regularly. Then again, eating regularly usually means that sooner or later, you start killing [[FantasticSlur kine]] - [[{{Muggles}} mortals]], pardon me again - and the more kine you kill, the easier the killing gets. [[MortonsFork So the Beast wins that way as well]]. Even if you don't mean to, even if the process begins with an accident, sooner or later you get inured to the sight of a brand-new corpse that you're responsible for, lying dead at your feet. After the tenth, hundredth, thousandth or whatever corpse, it stops being a person and becomes an object, a vessel. A footnote in your history of the ages. And you, at that moment, [[FullyEmbracedFiend cease to be remotely human]].

->''Look, this happens to everyone their first time. Normally when they kill a man, but for you, a dog. So what? There's no shame in it. You remember your first time, Garo? My first time - Afghanistan. We were moving through a house, and suddenly a man was there and I shot him in the stomach. Yeah, that's a real war story. There are never any good stories like in the movies, they're shit. A man was there - boom - stomach. I was so scared I didn't pull the trigger again for the rest of the day. I thought, "Well, that's it Bacho, you put a bullet in someone. You're not you anymore. You'll never be you again." But then you wake up the next morning and you're still you. And you realize... that was you all along. You just didn't know.''

->"It's a difficult thing, isn't it? Taking a life...feeling of the weight and responsibility of all the years the person you've murdered has lived. The moments that they've cherished. The dreams that they've struggled towards, gone...because of you. I want you to know something. Something important that I've learned. That it gets easier...the more you do it."

->''"Now, the first guy you kill is always the hardest. I don't care if you're the Boston Strangler or Wyatt Earp. You can be that Texas guy, Charles Whitman, the fella who shot all them guys from that tower? I'll bet you green money that first little black dot that he took a bead on was the bitch of the bunch. No fooling, the first one's a tough one to hoe. Now, the second one, while it ain't no Mardi Gras, it ain't half as bad as the first. You still feel something, but it's just so diluted this time around. Then you completely level off on the third one. The third one's easy. Now? Shit, now I'll do it just to watch their expression change.

->''Death always tasted bitter. “When it’s too easy,” [Byleth's] father had once taught her, “it’s time to retire.”''

->''"What's the difference between killing one man or two?"
