"All thoughts of revenge are born of the pain of helplessness. I suffer becomes You will suffer. And let us not lie. Vengeance is invigorating. It focuses and enlivens us, and it quashes grief because it turns the emotion outward. In grief we go to pieces. In revenge we come together as a single pointed weapon aimed at a target. However destructive in the long run, it serves a useful purpose for a time."
