Ladd Russo — memorable quote from Baccano!

“There's no need to worry about trivial things like vocal rights or working together. If nobody's going to accept me, I'll make them obey me, whether it's by threat or by assassination. This is my-- our F class modus operandi.”

“Your voice sounds so lovely when you're whimpering in agony.”

“It's easy for girls to take advantage of your kindness, so be careful.”

“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.”

“Yhwach. You desired a world... Where fear would no longer be a burden. But... In a world without fear of death... People will never attain the hope that is to be found from casting their fears aside and preserving through them. While it is true that people can continue to press forward through the simple act of living... That is no way comparable to marching forward in the face of death, while doing their damndest to keep it at bay. That is why... That is why people have given that very march a unique and special name. "COURAGE."”
