Book cover for The Women
In her Catholic high school, they’d spent days learning how to iron buttonholes to perfection, how to precisely fold a napkin, how to set an elegant table.

“Evil has an ordinary face. It laughs, it cries, it deflects, it rationalizes, it makes great pasta.”
James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Lee Child
“Evaluate. Long experience had taught me to evaluate and assess. When the unexpected gets dumped on you, don’t waste time. Don’t figure out how or why it happened. Don’t recriminate. Don’t figure out whose fault it is. Don’t work out how to avoid the same mistake next time. All of that you do later. If you survive.”
Lee Child, Killing Floor

“Ethical leaders do not run from criticism, especially self-criticism, and they don’t hide from uncomfortable questions. They welcome them.”
James B. Comey, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Lee Child
“Reacher said, "So here's the thing Brett. Either you take your hand off my chest, or I'll take it off your wrist.”
Lee Child, Worth Dying For

Lee Child
“A person less fortunate than yourself deserves the best you can give. Because of duty, and honor, and service. You understand those words? You should do your job right, and you should do it well, simply because you can, without looking for notice or reward.”
Lee Child, Nothing to Lose
