The Wild Dead West Quotes

“Look, old man, I’m sure you’ve got some great wealth of ‘knowledge’ and ‘wisdom’ you been dying to unload on to me, and that you think my life is actually more than it is, but honest to god: I’m just a simple man. Some ‘dumb gunslinger’—a gunless one, at that—that don’t know nothin’ about nothin’, and don’t wanna know nothin’ about nothin’, neither.”
― Eric A. Reynolds, The Wild Dead West: Liberation of the Left-Behind, Pt. I

― Eric A. Reynolds, The Wild Dead West: Liberation of the Left-Behind, Pt. I

“The strangest thing about taking another man’s life isn’t really just about the whole moral dilemma of it all, so much as it is about the unmeasurable weight that comes with the responsibility of it. To be the one that robs another man of everything that he’s ever had. Everything he’s ever thought of or dreamed of or has ever known. To steal his memories and his passions and all his potential. And not only did I take him from this world, I had the audacity to take him from everyone that’d ever known and cared for him.”
― Eric A. Reynolds, The Wild Dead West: Liberation of the Left-Behind, Pt. I
