“Mel Gibson flow, Lethal Weapon, 'book 'em Danny!”

“If words can be lethal weapons, I must provide them with an arsenal.”

“Imagine if all of life were determined by majority rule. Every meal would be a pizza. Every pair of pants, even those in a Brooks Brothers suit, would be stone-washed denim. Celebrity diet and exercise books would be the only thing on the shelves at the library. And — since women are a majority of the population — we'd all be married to Mel Gibson.”

“A transhumanist solution is to accelerate the research and development of smart guns and non-lethal weapons.”

“So is there any part of you that’s not a lethal weapon? (Kiara)
No. Even my wits are sharpened. (Nykyrian)”

“‎'All we need is a book,' roared Leslie; 'don't panic, hit 'em with a book.”

“Lord Peter Wimsey: Books…are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development.”

“Hungry man, reach for the book: it is a weapon.”

“I think humour can be a very lethal weapon. You make somebody a laughing stock and you kill him. But most journalists don't do it. They get angry, which doesn't serve the purpose.”

“The deadly weapon seemed unnaturally light and easy in his hand. Something that lethal should have more heft, like a broadsword. Wrong, for murder to be so potentially effortless — one ought to at least have to grunt for it.”
