Quotes by Anthony O'Neill  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“See El Dorado. Take El Dorado. Find another El Dorado. The envy of others is a self-replenishing feast. A rationalization a day keeps your conscience at bay. Never bang your head against a wall. Bang someone else’s. Don’t break the law. Break the Law. Losers make hurdles. Winners hurdle them.”
Anthony O'Neill, The Dark Side

“The less you know, the better you sleep.”
Anthony O'Neill, The Dark Side

“A mad scientist builds a monster out of body parts. The monster heads into the woods and kills a little girl. Who, then, is most responsible? The mad scientist or the monster?"
"The answer to that question is obvious, sir."
"It is?"
"Of course, sir - it's neither the scientist nor the monster."
"Then who is the most responsible?"
"The little girl in the woods."
"The little girl in the woods?"
"For failing to adequately protect herself, sir.”
Anthony O'Neill, The Dark Side
