“The success of any trap lies in its fundamental simplicity. The reverse trap by the nature of its single complication must be swift and simpler still.”
― Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Identity

“I mean, we're all trying to find out who the hell we are, aren't we?”
― Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Identity

“What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It's not good at much else.”
― Tom Clancy

“It makes sense. It's all there. Everything that's beautiful or wise or significant has been written down at some time or other. How can anybody have the gall or the self-satisfaction to ignore all that? Who would want to? You read to feel alive, to bring things to life in yourself that you didn't know were there. All those folds and creases in your brain have some function, some potential, all the nerve endings are waiting to be stimulated. And it's all in the books. Everything. The whole fucking world is there if you know how to find it.

Reading isn't an escape from life. It is life. It creates life.”
― Adam Kennedy, The Domino Principle
