Lee Child

Lee Child
The way to write a thriller is to ask a question at the beginning, and answer it at the end.
Lee Child
That should be your town motto. It's all I ever hear. Like: New Hampshire, Live Free or Die. It should be: Despair, You Need To Leave Now.
Lee Child
My mother still calls me Jim and that is about it. Everyone else calls me Lee. My wife calls me whatever.
Lee Child
I felt alienated by the experience and decided to stay away from corporate employment.
Lee Child
You see something scary, you should stand up and step toward it, not away from it. Instinctively, reflexively, in a raging fury.
Lee Child
I'm not afraid of death. Death's afraid of me.
Lee Child
