Prosthetic Conscience

Another sword quote

“In a serious encounter it is not of necessity our wish to take our opponent’s life, but first secure our own safety, and then to terminate the combat in our own favour by disabling him, and I cannot imagine a more thoroughly disabling stroke than six inches of cold steel through the sword hand.”

— Alfred Hutton “Cold Steel”
