Quotes by A.J. Hoover  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“... now a Chinese Fire Drill is just mildly offensive slang denoting a chaotic and unproductive situation like most police calls handled by more than two cops. Those I really try to avoid. Hey, screw it. I’m no hero.”
A.J. Hoover, The Chinese Fire Drill

“There's a point, you know, where treachery is so complete and unashamed that it becomes statesmanship.”
George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman and the Mountain of Light

“He was never without misery, and never without hope.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

“90% of everything is crap.”
Theodore Sturgeon

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“It's a time-honored truism of diplomacy that the most resented epithet is the one most accurately depicting the deficiencies of the recipient.”
keith laumer
