About This Quote
To catch an animal and see it free, only the cruelest of hunters would set a trap with terror and trepidation. When we set our traps, we must be sure that they will work. We must be sure that we can capture our prey without killing them on the first attempt. Only then would we use fear and terror to trigger the trap.
