And no, I did not feel proud at all. — Howard Zinn

When I was in my routine training for the Israeli army as a teenager, they discovered completely by chance that I was a lethal sniper.

Even today I can load a Sten automatic rifle in a single minute, blindfolded. — Ruth Westheimer
Custom developed digital weapons, cyber weapons nowadays typically chain together a number of zero-day exploits that are targeted against the specific site, the specific target that they want to hit.

If it's a country that's less poor or less sophisticated, it'll be a less sophisticated attack. — Edward Snowden
Error is multiform (for evil is a form of the unlimited, as in the old Pythagorean imagery, and good of the limited), whereas success is possible in one way only (which is why it is easy to fail and difficult to succeed - easy to miss the target and difficult to hit it); so this is another reason why excess and deficiency are a mark of vice, and observance of the mean a mark of virtue: Goodness is simple, badness is manifold. — Aristotle
