Quotations

You move like a pregnant yak. Sit.

You did not ask to be white. So perhaps that is not your fault. You did not ask to be here. Perhaps that is not your fault, either.

Breathe out... slowly... do not gulp. If you do not breathe correctly, you do not move correctly. Pitiful. I can see the deadly hamburger has done its evil work. We must sweat the poison from your body and rebuild.

Do you know why Americans call it 'fast food'? Because it speeds them on their way to their graves.

The trained mind does not need a watch. Watches are a confidence trick invented by the Swiss.

Professional assassination is the highest form of public service.

For a head of lettuce, I am old. For a mountain, I have not yet begun in years. For a man, I am just right.

Fear is nothing more than a feeling. You feel hot. You feel hungry. You feel angry. You feel afraid. Fear can never kill you.

Purge your mind of fear and believe in yourself. Without that belief, I can do nothing with you.

Kung Fu, Karate, Ninjitsu... nothing more than shadows. Sinanju is the sun.
