Quotes by Thomas Block (?)

“No." She turned away from him and stared out the windshield as though the argument as over.

He looked at her. He realized that he'd known her for less than seven hours, yet he felt that he knew her as well, certainly, as he knew Jennifer. Sharon Crandall had given him her complete and unquestioned trust, but know she was withdrawing it in favour of her own instincts, and he saw that she meant it. It was his turn to show the same perfect trust, though as a technical person he mistrusted instincts and always went with the odds and the gauges. "Okay. A little longer," he said.”
― Thomas Block, Mayday

“Berry felt that there was, between them, that bond that instantly develops between pilot and co-pilot, helmsman and navigator, observer and gunner. That knowledge that two must become one if they are to beat the long odds against survival.”

“The rest of what was termed these days their life-style was, to Berry, a cruel joke. An outrageously expensive house in Garden City that he had always disliked. The pretentious country club. The phony bridge group. Hollow friendships. Neighbourhood gossip. The cocktails, without which, all of Garden City, along with the neighbouring suburbs, would have committed mass suicide long ago.”
― Thomas Block, Mayday
