By that which you kill are you bound.

About This Quote

If you kill one person, you are bound to them by the life they lived. This is an interesting concept as it makes some people, such as those who kill animals for food or those who kill in self-defense, feel like they are somehow less than their victims. This quote reminds us that we cannot separate ourselves from the lives we touch and that we all leave a mark on everything we touch.
