“Enough, a person might say, if that person lived in the civilized world, the world of movies and television and fair play and decent restraint. But Reacher didn’t live there. He lived in a world where you don’t start fights but you sure as hell finish them, and you don’t lose them either, and he was the inheritor of generations of hard-won wisdom that said the best way to lose them was to assume they were over when they weren’t yet.”
― Lee Child, Worth Dying For

“Handguns were in-room weapons. Under expert control in high-pressure situations the average range for a successful engagement was about eleven feet.”
― Lee Child, Bad Luck and Trouble

“A handgun at two hundred feet is the same thing as crossing your fingers and making a wish.”
― Lee Child, A Wanted Man

“An unprovoked head butt is like bringing a sawed-off shotgun to a knife fight.”
― Lee Child
