The Legend of Andrew Rufus Quotes

“Suddenly something inside him snapped. Everything had happened so fast the last week he hadn't really processed anything; he'd made it a point not to process anything, but he couldn't ignore it any longer. He slipped down in the corner of the shower, burying his face in his hands, and he wept. He felt there must be some part of his soul missing, laying in the forest with the blood of all the men he'd killed. He knew Doyle was right; he knew he'd had to kill them; he had to if he wanted to live, but why? Why had they been willing to hunt him down? Why had they been willing to kill him? Shouldn't they have asked why? Shouldn't they have protested, questioned orders? But they hadn't. They hadn't. And he'd won… or he hadn't lost anyway. But the price, oh the price, it was high.”
― M.M. Crumley, Burial Ground: The Legend of Andrew Rufus

“killed them!" How could he have killed them? How could he have killed them and then ate and laughed and continued to live as though nothing had happened?”
