Quotes by William C. Dietz  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Take a look around,” the instructor had advised. “Ask yourself if there’s anyone else who is better qualified to do the job. Not in the entire galaxy, but right there, at that point in time. If the answer is ‘yes,’ ask them to accept command, and do everything you can to support them. If the answer is ‘no,’ which it will be ninety-nine percent of the time, then take your best shot. That’s all any of us can do.”
William C. Dietz, Halo: The Flood

“First of all, the Captain rates the honorific ‘sir.’ You will render that honorific or I will plant my foot in your ass.”
William C. Dietz, The Flood

“The goal was to defeat the enemy by limiting its ability to make good decisions.”
William C. Dietz, Into the Guns
