    “True to course, he didn’t know the nature of the assignment; true to course, he didn’t ask. That was probably for the best. Preparation for the Iranian hostage extraction had been difficult, and its execution life-threatening, but that was child’s play compared to what was coming.”

    “With increasing frequency in recent times, people have confused privileges with rights, objectivity with subjectivity, wishing with willing, wanting with needing, price with value, affluence with fulfillment, reality with appearance, and sameness with equality. Not to mention dis-ease with disease.”

    Barry Kirwan
    “A scream pierced the sky, a child’s, so loud he dropped his cup, his right hand ready to reach for a weapon that wasn’t there. A survival reflex from another city, another part of the world. He tried to relax, but the scream had been real. Not like the whining wail he loathed, not even the shocked cry of a kid who’d just hurt himself. This scream had mortal fear in it. After three tours in Afghanistan, he knew the difference.”

    Mario Puzo
    “Послушай, если человек влюблен, вся его жизнь вертится вокруг другого человека. Если этого нет, значит, речь идет не о любви. О чем-то еще. Возможно, о чем-то лучшем, более практичном. В любви по определению заложены несправедливость, нестабильность, паранойя. И мужчины здесь хуже женщин. Женщина может трахаться сотню раз, а потом один раз отказаться, и мужчина затаивает на нее зло. Но, с другой стороны, если она не хочет трахаться, когда у тебя возникает такое желание, это первый шаг вниз с вершины любви. Послушай, тут никаких отговорок быть не должно. Никаких головных болей. Ничего. Как только телка начинает отказывать тебе в постели, все кончено. Начинай искать замену. Не воспринимай отговорки всерьез.”
    ― Mario Puzo, Fools Die

    Hubert Selby Jr.
    “This guy is different. I see him once in a while and we have fun and theres no pressure. We just have a good time. And he still writes for tranks and downers. A couple of weeks ago we flew down to the Virgin Islands for a weekend. It was a ball. Hey, crazy. Sounds great. Yeah. So your folks are still footin the bills, tilting his head toward the rest of the apartment, for the pad and so forth? Yeah. She laughed out loud again, Plus the fifty a week for the shrink. And sometimes I do a little freelance editing for a few publishers. And the rest of the time you just lay up and get high, eh? She smiled, Something like that.”
