If our words could have reached you by mouth, then they would not have been sent by grenades.
Abu-Usama in Gaidi Mtaani, the new Swahili jihadist magazine, issue #1 p. 14 — h/t Aaron Zelin
Planes:
If our messages had been able to reach you through words, we wouldn’t have been delivering them through planes.

Well, Oliver, when men run out of words, they reach for their swords.
