James S.A. Corey Quote
A guy I once knew tried to justify his life choices to me by comparing himself to Genghis Khan. I take it you didn’t find his argument compelling? Murtry asked with a smirk. No, Holden said. And then a friend of mine shot him in the face. An ironic rebuttal to an argument about necessary violence. I thought so too, at the time.
