Graham Specter — memorable quote from Baccano!

“You keep your nerves on edge and you're always ready to lash out. You distance yourself from everyone. It's because you are afraid of people. YOU are the weakest person in this village.”

“Getting close to someone half-heartedly can cause you suffering.”

“Being too rigid makes you fragile. You'll end up breaking yourself and those around you.”

“Only one thing separates dangerous people and safe people: whether they know you or not. If they think you're a good person, they will all smile back at you.”

“Clausewitz, he pointed out that no matter how carefully one plans, on the battlefield, even the smallest of details can cause setbacks. Regardless of how well-thought it is, armchair strategizing only works in the realm of theory. Unexpected troubles, or uncontrollable factors such as weather. Operations face those sorts of troubles. They are the cause of strife on the battlefield.”
