Alex Rider: Russian Roulette

  • " Looking back now, I would say that this was one of my first valuable lessons I learned, and one that would be useful in my future line of work. Sometimes things go wrong. It's inevitable. But it's a mistake to waste time and energy worrying about events you can't influence. Once they've happened, let them go." - Yassen Gregorovich pg. 94

“Just because something is unspoken doesn't mean that it disappears.”― Alice Hoffman, Incantation

Catch 22

  • “There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.”
