"My feeling is, if you ever have to pick up a gun, you've already failed. If you shoot your way out, you're counting on yourself to be the better gunman, and no matter your rank or station in life, there's always someone quicker or luckier. You couldn't outthink the situation and took a chance, and that means you just weren't good enough."

- Clayton H. Travers
