"Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and if need be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure. I am strong. Why should I not use my gift?

Quote #2 indicates that Zaroff is a cruel and unsympathetic man. He indicates that he has barely any regard for human life, especially not for some unintelligent and dumb sailors.
