Savage, despicable evil. That's what we were fighting in Iraq.

The Navy credits me with more kills as a sniper than any other American service member, past or present.

I don't know if I'm the best of the best. But I did know that if I quit, I wouldn't be.

I’m willing to meet my creator and answer every shot that I took.

Despite what your momma told you, Violence does solve problems.

It is our duty to serve those who serve us.

MY REGRETS ARE ABOUT THE PEOPLE I COULDN’T SAVE—Marines, soldiers, my buddies. I still feel their loss. I still ache for my failure to protect them.

There's no reason someone who has fought for their country should be homeless of jobless.

But real life doesn't travel in a perfect straight line; it doesn't necessarily have that 'all lived happily ever after' bit. You have to work on where you're going.

Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad. When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.

What wounded veteran's don't need is sympathy. THey need to be treated like the men they are: equals, heroes, and people who still have tremendous value for society.

I never said you were supposed to be a jailer, i only said a normal person would have questioned why someone would create a decoy nun and then crawl out the window.

I understood how strangers met and fell into bed, not how they met and fell in love. I wasn't sure what falling in love meant. The very notion seemed so corny, so arbitrary, so fragile.

Freedom without virtue isn't freedom - it will eventually destroy a society.

We have learned to live with unholiness and have come to look upon it as the natural and expected thing.

When we got married, we agreed on a boy for me, and a girl for you. Mine's upstairs sleeping. Good luck with yours!

The voices of all creatures are in the voices of the river.

Could you really love someone who was capable of falling in love with somebody else?

When youre a girl, passion can dominate the equation, but as you grow up relationships evolve. Mad passion can grab you at first, but it cant last forever.

If I'm gonna tell a real story, I'm gonna start with my name.

There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife.
