Quotes 

• [after beating his wife, Stramm is drinking in a bar; Caine comes to him] 

  Kwai Chang Caine : The negative impact of society has not seeped in or taken over. It has always been there. No one can do anything about it. It is in the bone. Peace, walking side-by-side with rage. All the violence and all the evil that you find in yourself, I have in me. Perhaps more strongly. We are all men.

  Marty Stramm : But... you're a priest. You're a priest.

  Kwai Chang Caine : I'm also a man.

  Marty Stramm : Well, how do you deal with it? Suppress it, drive it out, or ignore it?

  Kwai Chang Caine : You cannot suppress it. It is too powerful to drive out. And you *must not* ignore it.

  Marty Stramm : Well, what then?

  Kwai Chang Caine : Embrace it.

  Marty Stramm : Embrace it?

  Kwai Chang Caine : That is what binds us together. Knowing that it is in us all, enables us to understand each other, and it allows us to forgive one another and ourselves.

  Marty Stramm : I... I'll try.

  Kwai Chang Caine : To try is all any of us can do.
