Rex Stout
“Opinions, from experts, cost money.”
― Rex Stout, The Silent Speaker

Rex Stout
“A person who does not read cannot think. He may have good mental processes, but he has nothing to think about. You can feel for people or natural phenomena and react to them, but they are not ideas. You cannot think about them."

[Life magazine, December 10, 1965]”
― Rex Stout

Jim Thompson
“I told her the world was full of nice people. I'd have hated to try to prove it to her, but I said it, anyway.”
― Jim Thompson, A Hell of a Woman

Douglas Adams
“The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy offers this definition of
the word "Infinite".
Infinite: Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some.
Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a
totally stunning size, "wow, that's big", time. Infinity is just so
big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy.
Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly
huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Rex Stout
“I will ride my luck on occasion, but I like to pick the occasion.”
― Rex Stout, Might as Well Be Dead
