21	->''The way Emma's fighting style can currently be described here is simply unrestrained violence. She's fighting without limitations and without human dignity and considerations in mind. In reality, people don't jump right away to gouging out other people's eyeballs or ripping off bodyparts with their teeth. They can get to that point, but people hesitate before diving into that. It's a similar reason as to why it's easier -- mentally -- to kill someone with a gun as opposed to stabbing them to death with a knife or choking them.''

26	->''"As his axe split a charging enemy from shoulder to hip, Grom Hellscream felt the joy and rage swirling within him, dulling his mind, charging his senses, threatening to sweep him away on a tide of raw exultation. He wanted to surrender himself, to give in to the song of combat, to lose himself in the thrill of death and destruction and victory."''
27	-->-- ''Literature/BeyondTheDarkPortal''
28
29	->His men rushed forwards without armour, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild oxen, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon them. This was called ''going berserk''.

And now they fall in heaps before him, one on top of another, and both his arms are bloodied to the shoulder, and he felled so many, the dead were stacked all about him. He stormed on as if he was insane.''

51
52	->Some negative qualities can reach a pitch of perfection that changes their very nature, and Mr. Tulip had turned anger into an art.\
53	It was not anger ''at'' anything. It was just pure, platonic anger from somewhere in the reptilian depths of the soul, a fountain of never-ending red-hot grudge; Mr. Tulip lived his life on that thin line most people occupy just before they haul off and hit someone repeatedly with a wrench. For Mr. Tulip, anger was the ground state of being. Pin had occasionally wondered what had happened to the man to make him as angry as that, but to Tulip the past was another country with very, very well guarded borders. Sometimes Mr. Pin heard him screaming at night.

115	->Murderlust is all that [[ProfessionalKiller Operative Torq]] knows. Extensive surgical and cybernetic augmentation have raised his strength to [[SuperStrength impossible levels]], his [[BizarreHumanBiology two hearts]] slamming double-time as they force hyperadrenaline compounds through iron-hard muscles. Behind his [[SkullForAHead skull-helm]], the Eversor's lips peel back in a rictus snarl, while his eyes bulge white and wild. [[DeathOfPersonality What personality Torq possessed has been burned to ash by the white heat of his constant fury.]] His world has narrowed to a never-ending war in which he smashes, tears, and butchers constantly in the [[GodEmperor Emperor]]'s name.

The hardest part is getting in touch with your rage. We all learn to hold that back. It's why we don't kill every [[FantasticSlurs duster]] who looks at us sideways. You need to shut that off. For some people, being in battle is enough. But others have to think about something. Violence, monsters, [[AristocratsAreEvil nobles]], [[AwfulWeddedLife your wife]], whatever.

139	->Pelinal called out Haromir of Copper and Tea into a duel at the Tor, and ate his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman, [[TemporalParadox a name that no one knew yet.]] Gordhaur the Shaper's head was smashed upon the goat-faced altar of Ninendava. (...) Later that season, Pelinal slew Hadhuul on the granite steps of Ceya-Tar, the Fire King's spears knowing their first refute. (...) When Huna, whom Pelinal raised from grain-slave to hoplite and loved well, [[MentorOccupationalHazard took death]] from an arrowhead made from the beak of Celethelel the Singer, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge the Whitestrake went on his first Madness]]. [[PersonOfMassDestruction He wrought destruction from Narlemae all the way to Celediil, and erased those lands from the maps of Elves and Men, and all things in them,]] and Perrif was forced to make sacrifice to the Gods to keep them from leaving the world in their disgust....

142	->''"The vast forests of our lands are said to be filled with the spirits of beasts. Sometimes, those beasts join us on the battlefield. Berserkers: wild, free and utterly without fear.

161	->"Let me paint a picture for ya: Take a viking, (a badass in his own right), now put an animal mantle on him and convince him that he has the primal power of a bear, wolf or boar. Now to help convince him of that, let's get him ''really'' hammered on alcohol or better yet, super high using herbal drugs; and you know what? For good measure, lets just strip him down almost naked alongside his self induced hysteria biting his shield and howling like an animal. With some discrepancies, ''that'' is a viking berserker. A warrior without fear, only rage, who's augmented bloodlust was so strong, that should he survive the fight, he would never be emotionally the same again."
