Quotes

Frank Castle: I leave this as a declaration of intent. So no one will get confused. One. Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. The drill sargeant made us recite it like a prayer. Si vis pacum para bellum. If you want peace, prepare for war. Two. Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. Three. In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't veangence. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No. Not vengeance. Punishment.
