I may say, without undue egotism, that when I make up my mind to do something, it is done quickly. - Elizabeth Peters

People of that sort seldom fall ill; they are too busy pretending to be ill.

Fists and rocks and clubs can do a limited amount of harm, but a gun is entirely different. It makes a weak man feel like a hero and a strong man feel as if he is immortal, and it removes the last inhibition a killer might feel. You don't have to be close to a man to put a bullet in him. You don't have to have to see his face.

A woman’s instinct, I always feel, supercedes logic.
