Quote by Nigel Seed

“You know sir. When we get home nobody is going to believe this. How the hell could anybody be that brave? It makes no sense.” “You’re right, but we’ll know. Everybody who has stood and watched a Dervish charge is never going to forget it.”

“The survey revealed, in areas quite close to known and even famous and well-visited Mayan sites such as Tikal, more than 60,000 previously unsuspected ancient houses, palaces, defensive walls, fortresses, and other structures as well as quarries, elevated highways connecting urban centers, and complex irrigation and terracing systems that would have been capable of supporting intensive agriculture. Previously scholars had believed that only scattered city-states had existed in an otherwise sparsely populated region, but the Lidar images make it clear, [...] that 'scale and population density had been grossly underestimated.”

“Della Street, Perry Mason’s confidential secretary, said, “A couple of lovebirds have strayed into the office without an appointment. They insist it’s a matter of life and death.” “Everything is,” Mason said. “If you start with the idea of perpetuating life, you must accept the inevitable corollary of death—but I presume these people aren’t interested in my philosophical ideas.” “These people,” Della Street announced, “are interested in each other, in the singing of the birds, the blue of the sky, the moonlight on water, the sound of the night wind in the trees.” Mason laughed. “It’s infectious. You are getting positively romantic, poetic, and show evidence of having been exposed to a highly contagious disease . . . . Now, what the devil would two lovebirds want with the services of a lawyer who specializes in murder cases?”

“Não me acreditarás se eu te disser o que tenho diante de mim, todas as imagens da igreja estão com os olhos vendados (...) Imagino esse homem a entrar aqui vindo do mundo dos cegos, aonde depois teria de regressar para cegar também, imagino as portas fechadas, a igreja deserta, o silêncio, imagino as estátuas, as pinturas, vejo-o ir de uma para outra, a subir aos altares e a atar os panos, com dois nós, para que não deslacem e caiam, a as sentar duas mãos de tinta nas pinturas para tornar mais espessa a noite branca em que entraram, esse padre deve ter sido o maior sacrílego de todos os tempos e de todas as religiões, o mais justo, o mais radicalmente humano, o que veio aqui para declarar finalmente que Deus não merece ver.”

“By 'Perry Mason moment,' I mean that climactic instant during a trial when you have just done something fantastic and everyone in the courtroom knows it. Your brilliant question or some stunning admission you coerced from a witness has left the opposing lawyer reeling, his mouth agape, and jurors amazed and entertained. The case is won; the rest of the trial is a formality. Your friends and colleagues are itching to congratulate you as soon as a recess is called. Only a supreme effort of will on your part, coupled with the knowledge that the judge and jurors are watching, keeps you from high-fiving everyone in sight.”
