Movie Quotes – Day 56

All right, I’m coming out. Any man I see out there, I’m gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I’m not only gonna kill him, but I’m gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down. — Unforgiven

Sometimes, all it takes is to lay out your plan of action and the consequences of failure to get others to go along with you.  If you’ve watched this movie, you’ll notice that no-one took a shot at Munny after he left the saloon.  Most of the people in that town probably had no idea what was going on.  All they knew was that there had been a bunch of shooting, and now somebody was promising to rain death and destruction upon them if they got involved, so they hunkered down and let him walk away.  I need to learn how to be this clear in my communications.

    Who was that guy that said something about “every man, once in his lifetime, must hoist the black flag and start slitting throats”?

    It was someone famous…

    Now it’s going to bug me all night.

    It was H.L Mencken who said “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
