"They say that war is death's best friend, but I must offer you a different point of view on that one. To me, war is like the new boss who expects the impossible.

"Together, they would watch everything that was so carefully planned collapse, and they would smile at the beauty of destruction."
"I want words at my funeral. But I guess that means you need life in your life."
"A halo surrounded the grim reaper nun, Sister Maria. (By the way-I like this human idea of the grim reaper. I like the scythe. It amuses me.)"
"Even death has a heart."
