Lee Child
It gives me some kind of chance to survive the night. How are those better odds? If you come back with me, you're guaranteed to survive the night. No, Reacher said. If I come back with you, I'm guaranteed to die of shame.
Lee Child
I was in the machine. My whole life. Then the machine coughed and spat me out. So I thought, OK, if I'm out, I'm out. All the way out. I was a little angry and it was probably an immature reaction. But I got used to it.
Lee Child
Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
Lee Child
People who wear glasses, without them they always look unfocused, vulnerable. Out in the open. A layer removed.
Lee Child
I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.
Lee Child
