Ted Levine Quotes
The Divine Nature of Violence
Warden:
Did you enjoy God's latest gift?
Teddy Daniels:
What?
Warden:
God's gift. Your violence.
Warden:
When I came downstairs in my home, and I saw that tree in my living room, it reached out for me... a divine hand. God loves violence.
Teddy Daniels:
I... I hadn't noticed.
Warden:
Sure you have. Why else would there be so much of it? It's in us. It's what we are. We wage war, we burn sacrifices, and pillage and plunder and tear at the flesh of our brothers. And why? Because God gave us violence to wage in his honor.
Teddy Daniels:
I thought God gave us moral order.
Warden:
There's no moral order as pure as this storm. There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my violence conquer yours?
