"Somewhere, in a sparely populated galaxy there is a planet like any other." "The creatures of this world have four limbs." "The two lower limbs enable them to move forward and backward and the two upper limbs enable them to kill." "Man." "Principal resource:" "Death." "He lives by it, he even dies by it." "He starts training at an early age." "In general, he's stubborn but gifted." "And almost immediately he puts his training to practice." "When the man dies, he lights a fire and then, dazed, he looks around... he meditates, he regrets." "It is not enough to accumulate the dead one must know how to honor them." "Man is, in fact, not only respectful... ..but also respectable." "He takes his hat off, he salutes, he marches." "He gives to the dead." "He lends to the living." "Strangely enough, some people always remain alive in the end." "Some have to, to be able to start again." "And what else is there for this future cadaver to do?" "Give him oblivion thus leisure activites." "And what does man do when he isn't killing other men?" "He kills what resembles him most!" "Man thinks, thus he lives well." "He kills everything that bites, kicks, charges, snorts in other words, everything aggressive." "He is hailed when victorious, mourned when defeated." "Between wars, between hunting, there is dead time." "One fills the time the best one can." "Hastily, as a humble handyman." ""Oh, my God, my wife, my husband my cousin, my guest!"" "They use every excuse to take any chance on it." "Every man for himself, and headlines for everybody." "Crime might not pay, but it does bring in the money." "Sometimes it also gets us into trouble." "One must take care of the details, focus on the big picture and forget the craft." "The 3rd man, the 4th arm of the living beheaded, the 7th victim the 13th crime of the sadist, the 42nd bearded man." "Even if man continues to commit crimes, justice will prevail." "The killers judge the killers and the dead rise to offer their executioners' heads to other executioners." "The world is in fact a vicious circle." ""Father, I accuse myself of having been a man."" ""I forgive you, my son!""
