“girls, even battered girls, tend to gravitate toward men who remind them of their fathers.”

“Love and a sense of security are, of course, foundations for our psychological development. The food, water, and oxygen we need to grow a healthy self-image. If we don’t receive adequate unconditional love as children, especially during our first five years, we carry that deficiency with us for the rest of our lives, seeing it manifest itself in profound emotional problems and psychological defects. If our minds evolve in an environment over which we have no sense of security, no control, we are left with often permanent feelings of weakness, powerlessness.”
― D.C. Alexander, The Legend of Devil's Creek

“I'm not a dog person by nature. Cats are more my bag. I like their independence, that look in their eyes that says 'Hey Jack. I go where the food goes'. Cats have an attitude like that, someone once said that cats were once revered as gods and they don’t like us to forget it. Dogs don't have that attitude(at least not for me). What dogs have is a loyalty that borders upon stupidity. You can kick a cat and that's it. It'll go somewhere else and find itself another lap to sit upon. You can kick a dog and it'll just keep on coming back for more.”
― Paul Christison, Revenant

“In combat, what someone deserves, or does not deserve, has no bearing on the equation. There is only one variable—you or me.”
