Quote by Vince Flynn

“Abu, torturing guys and breaking them down is not something I look forward to, although your case is a little different. I think you're such a despicable fuck that I might actually enjoy our little session. (Mitch Rapp to Abu Haggani)”

“« Je ne veux pas continuer ! Tu ne comprends donc pas ? Personne en ce monde ne veut donc le comprendre, maudits ? Suis-je le seul à être hanté ? » Un trémolo furieux modula son timbre. « Tout ce que j'ai fait – tout ce que j'étais – tout ce que je suis, c'est à cause de lui. Il était déjà quelqu'un avant moi. Je ne suis personne sans lui. J'en ai marre de vivre sans lui à mes côtés. Il m'a délaissé au profit de ce livre et, par le Saint, je lui en veut profondément. Je lui en veux chaque minute de chaque jour. » Sa voie se brisa. « Vous, les Lasians, vous croyez en la vie après la mort, n'est-ce-pas ? » Laya le considéra. « Certains d'entre nous, oui. L'Vergé des divinités, confirma-t-elle. Il t'attend p'têt là-bas. Ou à la Grande Table du Saint. Ou p'têt qu'il est nulle part. Quoi qu'il en soit, toi, t'es encore là. Et c'est pas sans raison. » Elle porta une main cailleuse à sa joue. « T'as un fantôme, Niclays, N'en devient pas un toi-même. »”

“For the admirable gift of himself, and for the magnificent service he renders humanity, what reward does our society offer the scientist? Have these servants of an idea the necessary means of work? Have they an assured existence, sheltered from care? The example of Pierre Curiee, and of others, shows that they have none of these things; and that more often, before they can secure possible working conditions, they have to exhaust their youth and their powers in daily anxieties. Our society, in which reigns an eager desire for riches and luxury, does not understand the value of science. It does not realize that science is a most precious part of its moral patrimony. Nor does it take sufficient cognizance of the fact that science is at the base of all the progress that lightens the burden of life and lessens its suffering. Neither public powers nor private generosity actually accord to science and to scientists the support and the subsidies indispensable to fully effective work.”
