“For an addict there is one pleasure of which no one can deprive him—his ability to spend his time in absolute solitude. And solitude means deep, significant thought; it means, calm, contemplation—and wisdom.”

“In many ways fast cruise is tougher than being out to sea. When you're out, you just do your job, and take in stride what comes along. During fast cruise you deliberately push everything to the limit. If it's going to break, better alongside the pier than 2,000 miles away from nowhere, or on the bottom in the Soviets' back yard.”
― Robert G. Williscroft, Operation Ivy Bells

“What is it, Val? What are you watch . . .” His word trailed off as his
eyes landed on the TV screen. The headline looming at the bottom of
the screen said it all—
“Planet Killer Aimed at Earth”
Wordlessly, Jeremy moved around the couch and plopped down
beside Valerie, whose eyes were glued to the screen. After moments of
watching, he turned to look at her, and her mouth was sagging open. It
was only then he realized his was too. He closed it with an audible click,
returning his attention to the screen. The narrator continued on about
the details of the new discovery until he got to the scientific name for
the asteroid and the new media moniker; Rabbit’s Revenge. Something
clicked in the back of his mind. Some little sensation of recognition
sparked at the name, but for the life of him Jeremy couldn’t place why.”
― Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy
