“Experience: Mistakes you have survived.”

Russell Blake,
Night of the Assassin
“The problem with getting older is you meant to bring sexy back, but then you got sidetracked, and wound up napping instead.” ― Russell Blake
“You feel strangely empowered when you realize that most of what you're told matters, only matters to those trying to sell you shit.” ― Russell Blake
“Nothing in life worth doing is ever easy. But a wise man is a patient man.” ― Russell Blake, Ops Files
“the engine cranked over with a reluctant shudder before settling into an uneasy idle that sounded like monkeys banging on a pan with hammers.” ― Russell Blake, Sahara
“noisy flight as the lone man’s skull exploded in a bloody splatter. His body crumpled to the concrete, dead before what was left of his head hit the ground with a melon-like thud. The few witnesses nearby froze in their tracks,” ― Russell Blake, Jet
“Now all the gang's dead except for me and Russell.” ― James Carlos Blake, Handsome Harry
“The driver had the radio on low – listening to music that sounded like someone had tied percussion instruments to a cow and set it running down an alley.” ― Russell Blake, Jet
“I’ve helped you over and over, and you’re treating me like a servant. Enough. I’m done with you. I’m a free man, a Texan, and you don’t tell me what to do, clear? I don’t tell you, either.” ― Russell Blake, Perdition
“mechanical watch,” ― Russell Blake, Nemesis
“He glanced at his watch but resisted the urge to show himself again.” ― Russell Blake, Nemesis
“Her face was lined and hardened, as though whittled from driftwood washed up by a winter storm.” ― Russell Blake, Havoc
“You could clean up the whole country, warlord by warlord, and bring a decent life to tens of thousands of survivors. I know you don’t want to hear this, but it’s true. You landed in this position – whether by fate or accident, who can say, but it’s yours either way, and I think you need to acknowledge it and figure out whether you want to be a leader, or…or leave it to others less capable.” ― Russell Blake, Havoc
“His gaze hardened. “I’m sending you back, Sierra. This conversation’s over.” “You can try, but we’ll just follow you, which will be way more dangerous than if we’re with you.” He stepped away from her and paced. “Why can’t you do as I ask?” “Because you’re wrong on this one, Lucas. Don’t feel bad. It happens to everyone. You’re not perfect” ― Russell Blake, Nemesis
“The truth was that man had been killing his fellow man for eons, and would continue to do so until there were no more walking the earth.” ― Russell Blake, Vengeance
“Would that someday Matt would have his family gathered around him in a safe place, maybe a dog or two to warm his feet, enjoying the simple pleasures of companionship and love.” ― Russell Blake, Survival
“Everyone had to carve what life they could out of their circumstances. He was in no position to pass judgment.” ― Russell Blake, Survival
“As with most black swan events, so named because they were unpredictable singularities, the combination of the super flu – regardless of whether brought to the U.S. by refugees, illegal immigrants, or returning servicemen – and an economic meltdown had never been envisioned. There were simply no scenarios for it, and when it happened, civilization had unraveled far faster than anyone would have believed.” ― Russell Blake, Blood Honor
“He spoke with the certainty of an educated man.” ― Russell Blake, Legion
