A poet can write about a man slaying a dragon, but not about a man pushing a button that releases a bomb. ↗

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer. ↗

Twelve-piece cookware sets for ninety-nine bucks are routinely hawked on late-night TV - often by friends of mine. But with a mere five pieces, you can do whatever you like - slay the dragon and then cook its tenderloin in the style of the duke of Wellington, if you want to. ↗

Xander: Back in my day, which was about a week and a half ago, we took our lumps and we got back up and we cried like babies and quit and then put on weight. ↗

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive. ↗

Seven years, Dawn. Working with the Slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful... a witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had a wolfy mojo not to be messed with. Powerful, all of them. And I'm the guy who fixes the windows. They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't Chosen, to live so near the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night, and I see you working here today. You're not special; you're extraordinary. ↗

Anya: "There was this other apocalypse this one time. And, well, I took off. But this time, I don't... I don't know." Andrew: "Well, what's different?" Anya: "Well, I guess I was kinda new to being around humans before. And now I've seen a lot more, gotten to know people, seen what they're capable of and I guess I just realize how amazingly... screwed up they all are. I mean, really, really screwed up in a monumental fashion." Andrew: "Oh." Anya: "And they have no purpose that unites them, so they just drift around, blundering through life until they die. Which they-they know is coming, yet every single one of them is surprised when it happens to them. They're incapable of thinking about what they want beyond the moment. They kill each other, which is clearly insane, and yet, here's the thing. When it's something that really matters, they fight. I mean, they're lame morons for fighting. But they do. They never... They never quit. And so I guess I will keep fighting, too. ↗

There is no finer sonic-producing weapon for a guitar slayer than a hand crafter Gibson masterpiece. ↗

My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got. ↗

There were dragons to slay in the old days. Nixon was a good dragon. ↗
