The past is like pieces of a broken mirror, you try to pick them up, but you only end up cutting yourself. You can't break a man the way you break a dog. The harder you beat a man, the taller he stands. Destroy their preconceptions of what a man is, and you become their personal monster. When they fear you, you become stronger. But let's never forget: It's a display. It's a posture, like a lion's roar or a gorilla thumping at his chest. If you lose yourself in the display, if you succumb to the horror, then you become the monster. You become reduced. Not more than a man, but less, and it can be fatal
