" I was 11 years old when I kill my first man. I remember the look on his face when the light went out behind his eyes..such a sudden change, almost imperceptible between life and death. And I felt ashamed. I had stolen from that man the most precious gift of all - life. But I also felt something else. Pride because I had taken up arms against someone who sought to do ill against my family. I realized what I had done was necessary. You see, I have replaced evil with death and that is what the League exists to do and I have killed several thousand more men since then and the world is better off for it." -Ra's Al Ghul Arrow Season 3 Episode 9
