• All of a sudden I became aware of a little star in one of those patches and I began looking at it intently. That was because the little star gave me an idea: I made up my mind to kill myself that night. I had made up my mind to kill myself already two months before and, poor as I am, I bought myself an excellent revolver and loaded it the same day. But two months had elapsed and it was still lying in the drawer. I was so utterly indifferent to everything that I was anxious to wait for the moment when I would not be so indifferent and then kill myself. Why -- I don't know.

• I looked at it [revolver] as if it reminded me of a crime I had committed with an irrepressible smile such as rises sometimes to people’s lips in the face of great catastrophes which are beyond their grasp, the smile that comes at times on certain women’s faces while they are saying they regret the harm they have done. It is the smile of nature quietly and proudly asserting its natural right to kill.

• Chicos, chicas, escuchad esto: Nadie quiere quitarles sus rifles de caza. Nadie quiere quitarles sus escopetas. Nadie quiere quitarles sus revólveres, y nadie quiere quitarles sus pistolas automáticas, siempre que dichas pistolas no tengan más de diez cartuchos. Si no puedes matar a un invasor de tu casa (o a tu mujer, levantada en mitad de la noche para coger un bocadillo de la nevera) con diez disparos, tienes que volver al campo de tiro local.

• I'm a lifelong movie addict, and one of my favorite projects is making replica props and costumes. Nearly every one of these - from R2D2 to Hellboy's revolver - ends with the paint job. And it's not just cosmetic. The paint literally tells a story: what this thing is made of, where it's been, what it's been used for, and for how long.

Saqué mi revólver y estuve a punto de dispararles, pero pensé que no serviría de nada, ya que todos estaban de espaldas a mí, por lo que habrían pensado que cualquier herido había sido alcanzado por una bala alemana. Si corría tras ellos, mis hombres podrían pensar que estaba huyendo. Así que me enfrenté a mis hombres.
