Movie quotes

  • (..) For those regarded as warriors... When engaged in combat... the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress a human emotion and compassion... ...kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat. (..)
