the name of the game

"Is that what happens to us? A life of conflict with no time for friends... so that when it's done, only your enemies leave roses. Violent lives ending violently. Dollar Bill, The Silhouette, Captain Metropolis... We never die in bed. Not allowed. Something in our personalities, perhaps? Some animal urge to fight and struggle, making us what we are? Unimportant. We do what we have to do. Others bury their heads between the swollen teats of indulgence beneath a sow for shelter... but there is no shelter... and the future is bearing down like an express train."

- in "Watchmen"

as torturas à volta do sentimento da vergonha , conseguem resultar num vigilante bastante perspicaz. mas ainda assim, mais lírico do que outro que se divertia precisamente a explorar o sentimento da vergonha com sofrimento inflingido aos outros.
