Line 81:
* Ian Fleming inverted the trope regularly in his [[James Bond]] novels. Despite the statement made in the 2006 version of ''[[Casino Royale]]'', quoted at top, in the original novels and short stories Bond is often depicted as actively avoiding having to kill more than is necessary, leading to some dangerous scenarios for 007, such as in the short story "From A View to a Kill" in which Bond is nearly killed by a man who he shows mercy to.
* [[World of Warcraft|The Last Guardian]] by Jeff Grubb has this line used by Medivh after he {{spoiler|attacks Khadgar and Garona}}.
* In [[H. Beam Piper]]'s ''Space Viking'', Lucas Trask tells the scholarly King of Marduk, "We're professional murderers and robbers, as one of my fellow tradesmen says. The worst of it is that robbery and murder become just that: a trade, like servicing robots or selling groceries."
