"There is no real means of defense to my strategem. I am greatly surprised that my objective to face death, to save the many, for my personal loss was thwarted. Any game of chess will be one of gains and losses, but in order to make great strides, one must accept that losses are an inevitability of war. I was hoping to be the first pawn to fall, to open the prospect of new moves and theory. But I feel even more responsible for the tragic losses of not pawns, but knights."
"I am still undaunted in my pursuit for the slayers of my colleagues. I will analyze the past few discussions, I know that my theories will be considered at a nominal regard but there is a method to my madness. That I assure as I assure you that I am just a Jedi."

It could be that he still lives his fierce life somewhere else, but from that day on, mother rabbits would tell their kittens that if they did not do as they were told, the General would get them. Such was Woundwort's monument, and perhaps it would not have displeased him." Watership Down, Richard Adams
