Lee Child
Lone women shouldn't stop in the middle of nowhere for giant unkempt strangers with duct tape on their faces.
Lee Child
Printing currency for foreigners to buy is the best racket a government can get into.
Lee Child
Some old guy once said that the meaning of life is that it ends.
Lee Child
I like food, like any other guy, but it is not the main thing in my life. I can do without it.
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
You see something scary, you should stand up and step toward it, not away from it. Instinctively, reflexively, in a raging fury.
Lee Child
