• Battal : You're trying to trap me. You're playing mind games with me. Look, I'm a hunter, so are you. In some hunts you aim and pull the trigger and either shoot it or miss it. And sometimes, you make a trap. But traps don't suit a hunter but it still exists. It requires mastery. The rule is that your game should not realize there is a trap. I did that. You think I'm a deer easily to be trapped? Your mind is not a match against mine. Come back here when you have something to say. Don't come knocking on my door all the time. I thought maybe I'd learn something about hunting from you but you're no match against me. If you want to find out what's going to happen to you try knocking on my door again.

• Battal : What matters is to be able to live with a guilty conscience.

• Battal : He said Life is a hunt. Either they hunt you or you hunt. Make a choice. That slap was a lesson. I never cried after that. Not even in game hunt or human hunt. That's the essence of the system. There are hunts and hunters. You have to decide; Are you going to be the prey or the hunter?
