Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.
What was the alternative? Let him live? Let him win?
Sometimes I suspect that you forget you’re a member of Secret Intelligence Command. You’re a SIC man.
People are the only mirror we have to see ourselves in.
Laugh while you can, monkey-boy!
“I’m going to put an end to this ridiculous business,” Hamilton said fatalistically. “I’ve had all I can stand.”
At exactly launch plus eight hours: inertial guidance system - destroy; radio transmitter - destroy; cabin pressure control system - destroy.
Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun! I shall do the next best thing: block it out.
To do so, she had to boost at an acceleration greater than the surface gravity of the Sun!
"CIC puts them in the hundred and fifty to two hundred-kiloton range, but their initial velocity was nine hundred and twenty-six kilometers per second, and they’re up to just over thirty-two hundred now. That means they’re accelerating at five-point-six KPS squared, Governor.”
Dueñas looked blank, and Dubroskaya reminded herself not to sigh.
“Sir, our Rampart-class destroyers are only half that big, and their maximum acceleration rate, with zero safety margin on the compensator, is only five-point-zero-nine KPS squared.”
“Manties,” he said.
Spock, what are the odds in getting a royal fizzbin?
Knowledge is a house that must be built from the ground up. We know how to make the roof. The information is useless if we don’t understand the foundations on which it is to be placed.

The attempt, while spectacular, had not been a success. In fact, the imagery which had been recorded by the Dahak’s escorts still turned up in slow motion in HD compilations of the most awe-inspiring disaster footage in galactic history.
You’re not fooling anybody when you say that what happened was a natural disaster.
“No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow. What?! Look, somebody’s got to have some damn perspective around here. Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!”
Let’s test that theory, shall we?
