Which was not unlike my love of making good guys sweat, just by very different means.” ― Darynda Jones, Second Grave on the Left tags: bad-guys, good-guys, humor, men, men-and-women 121 likes Like “Good guys don’t always win, especially when they are divided and less determined than their adversaries.

Good guys suffer, too - but they respond by helping.” ― Katherine Center, Things You Save in a Fire tags: good-guys, helping, suffering, villain 6 likes Like “This is the only way that you can hope to survive.

Savastano tags: assumptions, bad-guys, doubt, evil, good, good-guys 2 likes Like “The trick here is arbitrary word assignment: that is, any violence engaged in by ourselves or our friends is ipso facto retaliation and counter-terrorism; whatever the enemy does is terrorism, irrespective of facts.’10 We might say, then, that the golden rule of state violence is: terrorism is what they do, and counter-terrorism is what we do. As Orwell himself observed in his essay, ‘Notes on Nationalism’: ‘Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage – torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians – which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by “our” side.” ― David Cromwell, Why Are We The Good Guys?: Reclaiming Your Mind From The Delusions Of Propaganda tags: enemy, good-guys, lies, propaganda, terrorism, violence, war 1 likes Like “We’re the good guys, right?” Jared asked.“I don’t know,” Michaela admitted. “But I’m positive we’re not the bad guys.”“That’s something,” Jared said.” ― Stephen King, Sleeping Beauties tags: bad-guys, good-guys 1 likes Like “Aedus reached into the center console and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. There was hardly a cloud in the sky. He drove for ten minutes before the helicopter came in sight, gradually descending towards the airport in his opposite direction. He looked around for a place to make a U-turn, but there was no legal turn available. Aedus sighed. The things a good guy has to do. He made a turn onto a side road and looped back around, tires squealing. In an action movie he’d just make a U-turn wherever, speed down the road, and weave in and out of traffic. Alas, this wasn’t an action movie and he wasn’t a certain Jason Bour—no time to think about that. The airport was coming up quick and as bustling as ever.” ― Zechariah Barrett, Project Ordine tags: allusion, bourne, good-guys, references, secret-agent 0 likes Like “There are no good guys or bad guys.
