“You are dealing with national security. Anything labeled a national security issie is taken out from the system. There is no due process, no lawyers. They may do with us what they wish. Fear is a government's greatest weapon. With it, they can convince a people that they need to abandon their freedom. In exchange, they get safety. Of course, you just trade one monster for another, but by the time the people realize this, it is too late. -- Excerpt from Superhero.” ― Victor Methos
“We’re told by this system that you are the car you drive or the size of your house or the number in your bank account. We’re taught from an early age by advertising agencies that we’re only as good as the wealth we have. It isn’t true. We’re not their slaves. We’re people. We’re not numbers on a spreadsheet. We aren’t disposable if we don’t make enough. This is our country, not theirs.” ― Victor Methos, An Invisible Client
“Secrets had the power to make people stick together against the rest of the world. On” ― Victor Methos, The Neon Lawyer
“It’s trivial stuff, Ma.” “No,” she would reply. “Nothing’s trivial, sweetheart. You have to love all of it.” ― Victor Methos, Chains of Darkness
“That’s all that matters—how well you can walk through flames.” They” ― Victor Methos, The Neon Lawyer
“Hindsight has the power to make us feel like fools,” ― Victor Methos, A Killer's Wife

“Remember one thing above anything else: if you say something confidently enough, people will believe you. Even if you’re wrong.” ― Victor Methos, An Invisible Client
“Hope was what was left in Pandora’s box. Maybe people’s lives aren’t meant to have hope.” ― Victor Methos, Pestilence
“Every dictator in history has made that same speech, Bob. Hitler thought he was fighting for the greater good, too. Isn’t it odd that the most defenseless always need to be the ones sacrificed for the greater good?” ― Victor Methos, An Invisible Client
“I’m not a Marxist by any means, but he had a point when he said that philosophers just want to interpret the world when the point is to change it.” “My” ― Victor Methos, Sin City Homicide
“When he was gone, Angela said, “Why’d you let him off so easy?” “You need to read between the lines. Why would he be afraid of working with the police as a bartender?” She shrugged.” ― Victor Methos, The Murder of Janessa Hennley
“You’ll come to find as you get older that money loses its luster, and the only thing that matters are the people in your life.” ― Victor Methos, An Invisible Client
“That was how powerful judges were, Brigham thought. That they could leave a hundred people at any time and the people would just have to wait for them.” ― Victor Methos, The Neon Lawyer

“We hear and see what they want us to hear and see. You think some drunk slut in Hollywood is news? They want us distracted. Not paying attention. Bread and circuses distracted the Romans two millennia ago, and it hasn’t changed that much since, just different bread and different circuses.’ “Luther” ― Victor Methos, Scourge
“You don’t leave war. Ever. No matter where you go afterward it’s always there with you. You close your eyes and you see it painted on your eyelids. You hear a noise and your guts tighten up like you’ve been shot. There ain’t no gettin’ away from it. Every soldier, whether they make it back or not, dies in the war they fight. “I” ― Victor Methos, Black Sky
