Because in the bottom of my heart there was murder: I wanted to see America destroyed, razed from top to bottom. I wanted to see this happen purely out of vengeance, as atonement for the crimes that were committed against me and against others like me who have never been able to lift their voices and express their hatred, their rebellion, their legitimate blood lust.
I was the evil product of an evil soil. If the self were not imperishable, the “I” I write about would have been destroyed long ago. To some this may seem like an invention, but whatever I imagine to have happened did actually happen, *at least to me*. History may deny it, since I have played no part in the history of my people, but even if everything I say is wrong, is prejudiced, spiteful, malevolent, even if I am a liar and a poisoner, it is nevertheless the truth and it will have to be swallowed.
The way that some people walk makes them look uncertain and vulnerable. The American serial killer Ted Bundy said that he could “tell a victim from the way that she walked down the street.” Your walk doesn’t lie.
Keep your eyes wide OPEN when you walk the MEAN STREETS of Manhatten. Check out every doorway, every alley, every shadowed stairwell. Don't talk to anybody. And don't look UP, no matter how pretty the buildings are, the ROTTEN ones, they'll think you're a TOURIST. And maybe they'll kill you. But if you DO look up, and if you'revery, very LUCKY, you just might spot a patch of scarlet as it dances from rooftop to rooftop, maybe, for just a second, you'll see the city's CHAMPION...
Keep your eyes wide OPEN and be greatful that you CAN see at all. Because, even though he cam smell, hear and taste better than anyone else in town, daredevil doesn't SHARE your gift.
He's blind.
