Deadly Nightshade Quotes

“Don’t get yourself killed:  that’s your first priority.  Careful analysis of after-action reports demonstrates that, on most mission types, dead personnel have a very low success rate.”
― H. Paul Honsinger, Deadly Nightshade

“Step one:  avoid being killed.”
― H. Paul Honsinger, Deadly Nightshade

“You need to understand that sometimes things can be so totally fucked up that all you can hope for is to find a way stay in the fight just a little while longer. Entire goddamn wars have been won just because some grim, stubborn son of a bitch had enough grit in his gizzard and iron in his backbone to keep fighting for just a little while longer. And, goddamn it, if that’s all you’ve fucking got, then that’s what you fucking do. Maybe you can’t see a road out of the valley of the shadow of death, but so long as you’ve got life in your body and defiance in your heart, you have not been beaten.”
― H. Paul Honsinger, Deadly Nightshade
