Having a weapon makes you want to use it, and if you use yours the other person wants to use theirs, and then one of you gets badly hurt or dead, and the one who survives has to spend a lot of time explaining herself to the state's attorney. All of which takes time from more meaningful work, although you could argue that killing a drug dealer constitutes meaningful work.”
― Sara Paretsky, Critical Mass

“Besides, Hitler never really believed splitting the atom was possible. Shows why it's a mistake to let your research be dictated by a dictator.”
― Sara Paretsky, Critical Mass
