Better to Die Than Be Killed/Quotes

Dearest Helena,

By the time you receive this message, news of our defeat will have reached the Earth. The creatures we were sent here to tame are untameable. The colonies we were sent here to reclaim proved to be more formidable than we anticipated.

Whatever you may know about what happened here today, know this: Alexei did not die gloriously in battle. I killed him. My pride killed him. My pride continues to consume me even now.

You will never see me again, Helena.

Tell our children that I love them, and that their father died in defense of their future.

Au revoir

I would rather go out in a blaze, than give 'em the glory...

Suicide is man's way of telling God, "You can't fire me - I quit."

—Bill Maher

This is no time for suicide! We're about to be killed!

The teeth of his old enemies, these ancient brothers and sisters of a thing which had called itself Kurt Barlow, sank into him like stingers. Callahan felt them not at all. He was smiling as he pulled the trigger and escaped them for good.
