Quotes
- ““The syndicated journalist?”“The syndicated muckraker would be more like it,” Dr. Walker said. “Mister Sensationalism. Specialist in the exposé. Long on headlines, short on facts.””
- “I think I’m as normal as the next guy. But I won’t go after what I want regardless of the price. Doing that nullifies the worth of whatever you’re after.”
- “Oh, a few temple priests have been predicting dire things in an effort to improve public morals, but no one takes them seriously.”
- “I was warned that you were an authoritarian personality, Dr. Lindstrum – not to say overbearing. The warnings were not exaggerated. With only modest encouragement, I could dislike you thoroughly.”
- “Sir, you are continually insulting. Is that because you are afraid of losing your authority? Is that why you give free rein to your vexatious personality, constantly assuming the shrill posture of a dictator?”
- ““An astonishing story,” Bomfils said. “I regret to say that I do not believe it.””
