Murder Quotes

[Xurré]

Alright, I thought this might be fun. I’ve looked up some murder-related quotes that, I think, could also apply to Witch Elves. I’ll list them here below with some comments; feel free to add your own. :)


“Murder is born of love, and love attains the greatest intensity in murder”
- Octave Mirbeau

We do love our work.


“One must never set up a murder. They must happen unexpectedlly, as in life.”
- Alfred Hitchcock

For reason, no matter how often you tell them you’re going to kill them, it always seems to take them by surprise.


“Murderers, in general, are people who are consistent, people who are obsessed with one idea and nothing else”
- Ugo Betti

Who, me? Obsessed with one idea? I’ll kill you for saying that!


“Assassination's the fastest way.”
- Moliere

And the most fun!


“Better murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire.”
- William Blake

Indeed. Give me the infant and you keep your Slaaneshi ways to yourself.


“Murder is not the crime of criminals, but that of law-abiding citizens.”
- Emmanuel Teney

And we are very law-abiding.


“Carcasses bleed at the sight of the murderer.”
- Robert Burton

I damn well hope so!


“For murder, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ.”
- William Shakespeare

Oh, it certainly speaks to me… again and again and again.


“I will kill thee a hundred and fifty ways.”
- William Shakespeare

Well, we all have to start somewhere.


“I will make you shorter by a head.”
- Elizabeth I

And then an arm, then a leg, and then a …


“Kill a man, and you are an Assassin. Kill millions of men, and you are a Witch Elf. Kill everyone, and you are Khaine.”
- Jean Rostand (paraphrased)

Heehee. :mrgreen:

Love the alternative of Jean Rostand's saying :)

[AlienOverlord]

Paraphrased from Terry Prachett:

"If you're facing a murderer, pray that he's an EVIL man. Evil men want to gloat, they want to make you grovel, they want that feeling of power. They'll want to delay the killing the same way another man would delay enjoying a fine cigar and that might give you a chance.

A good man won't do that. A good man will kill you without a single word. Pray you're never facing a good man."

At least one of the two quotes from my signature works well here.

"Killing means you never have to say sorry."

ROFL, very good. Hadn't noticed that before. :D

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

Thomas de Quincey (1785-1859) British author and intellectual.

Stop incivility and procrastination!!!

Ban Murder!!!

It's a slippery slope. We have to keep procrastination from spreading. We must as a civilized people stop all the Murder.

What if we just kill all people who procrastinate?

Besides, anyone who thinks procrastination comes from murder hasn't seen a Witch Elf in her element... no procrastination there. :p

It's a confirmed link between Murder and Procrastination amongst men.

All bets are off with those Witch Elves.

“Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.”
- James Anthony Froude

I'm taking "man" here as in a generaly "all sentient Warhammer races" and druchii in particular. Though for us "amusing" might be putting it a bit mildly.

“If it bleeds, we can kill it.”
- Arnold Schwarzenegger

Though we better make sure each and every time, because you never know.

“To kill a relative of whom you are tired is something. But to inherit his property afterwards, that is genuine pleasure.”
- Honore de Balzac

I think that's more general druchii view on life. For a Witch Elf the question would be: why wait until you're tired of them? (Besides, who needs property when the temple provides all the sacrificial altars you'll ever need).

"Murder is always a mistake - one should never do anything one cannot talk about after dinner”
-Oscar Wilde

Makes one wonder what a Druchii supper table sounds like.

[Aeious]

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; aims never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

not sure what this means ... but sounds good ;)

One to destroy, is murder by the law; and gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe; to murder thousands, takes a specious name, 'War's glorious art', and gives immortal fame.
Edward Young

"War's glorious art" pretty much sums it up imo

[Thrakkesh]

Death is the solution to all problems. No man - no problem.
Joseph Stalin

Ooh, indeed. :)

Now that's definitely a philosophy a Witch can get behind. :mrgreen:

I'm a killer I kill for money ... but you're my friend .. I kill you for nothing.
