“Ugliness is an illusion, gentlemen. Like beauty. Like color. All depends on the light. The only reality is action.”
Karen Traviss, True Colors

“So you want a knife, a nice sharp knife. You hone that blade to its limits. It even cuts through stone when you want it to. It saves your life. And then you're outraged when it cuts you accidentally. You see, knives don't switch off. And neither do people, not when you hone them to a fine edge.”
Karen Traviss

“If you take a shot at someone, you keep firing until they can no longer return fire. Wound them, and you have an angry enemy who knows your position.”
Karen Traviss
