History Quotes / TerrorHero

->''Fear was a weapon that sharpened with use after all.''

->"We will be ''cruel'' to the Germans, and through our cruelty, they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in [[MakeAnExampleOfThem the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us]]. And the German won't not be able to help themselves but to imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands. And our boot heels. And the edge of our [[PsychoKnifeNut knives]]. And the German will be ''sickened'' by us, and the German will ''talk'' about us, and the German will ''fear'' us. And when the German closes their eyes at night, and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of ''us'' they are tortured with. Sound good?"

->"Fear was a tool I could use, here, and I could achieve that through uncertainty and the unknown."

->''The Culexus Assassin is fear incarnate. He is the nameless dread that haunts the shadows, the terror that lingers on the edge of his victim's gaze. [[DeadlyGaze With a glare, he can still a man's heart]], while psykers exposed to his presence are driven to madness by sheer terror.\\\
Operative Noctus Kord is a man-made monster. [[WalkingWasteland His very presence kills]]. The merest zephyr of his passing plunges bystanders into paroxysms of fear and paranoia, all without them ever knowing Kord was in their midst.''
-->--'''''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000''''', "Assassinorum - Execution Force"

->"You meet [[PoliceAreUseless Danny Sullivan]] and you have to agree that crafting a new persona and reputation, well, that was in order. It's for the psychological value. Nobody fears Danny Sullivan and security, but the Gunners shit themselves at the thought of [[ElitesAreMoreGlamorous the Sheriff]]... That reputation stops most trouble in the Fens before it even begins."

->"When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice: ''that'' is fear. ''That'' is what I am. That is why they hired assassins, because I am the reason that criminals breathe easier when the sun rises."

->"Don't you want to terrify? Fear means there are fewer to fight next time. Fear means lives are saved."

->"The fact is, since people started calling me [[TheDreaded the Reaper of the Bailey]], the number of serious crimes in the capital has dropped substantially. It would appear that even the most hardened criminals can be made fearful for their lives... I mean to say that if my pseudonym serves a useful purpose, I adopt it gladly, and with honour."

->"We will be ''cruel'' to the Germans, and through our cruelty, they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in [[MakeAnExampleOfThem the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us]].

->''I would have loved to have seen a story where he could play a villain as furiously as this ala [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS5E4TheEnemyOfTheWorld}} "Enemy of the World."]] [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS18E2Meglos}} "Meglos"]] is as close as we got in that respect ... Go watch him screaming ‘GET OUT!’ and [[EvilLaugh laughing malevolently]] as he introduces the Vardans; his is the Creator/TomBaker that those who worked with him admitted was bloody terrifying.''

->Wow, what a transformation between [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS12E5RevengeOfTheCybermen}} "Revenge of the Cybermen"]] (where [[Creator/TomBaker Tom]] seemed a little wobbly and unsure in the role) and this. By all accounts he received some feedback on his performance in the first season and [[WagTheDirector flew off the handle]] at the comments (according to an interview with Creator/NicholasCourtney). It seems to have put him in a massive grump and what materializes is the brooding, menacing fourth Doctor of seasons thirteen and fourteen. Perhaps the [[GrowingTheBeard definitive]] fourth Doctor for most...he looks as terrifying and ominous as any of the villains he has ever faced. Rather than sympathising with Sarah when the air is sucked out of the room he tells her to [[NoSympathy shut up and save her breath]]. When he hypnotises her, the Doctor is the most frighteningly alien thing in this story.
