“You don’t let them knock you out, you make them knock you out. You make them break their fucking hands knocking you out, you let them know that they’ve been in a fight, you give them something to remember you by every time they look in a mirror.”
Don Winslow, The Power of the Dog

“If you let people believe that you are weak, sooner or later you’re going to have to kill them.”
Don Winslow, Savages
