Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies are eliminated.
Until then, everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrupting your judgment.

death
These violent delights have violent ends And in their
triumph die, like fire and powder, Which,
as they kiss, consume.
- Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI

Fire and Ice.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Eden
stranded in a quotable place.
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 2:17
