“You cannot defeat your enemies until you know who they are.”

“Routine is the one thing the can get you killed. It tells the enemy where you're going and when you're going to be there.”

“Your name?"The movements of the man's mouth didn't quite match what he was saying, so seeing him speak was a bit like watching a badly dubbed film."Alex Gardiner," Alex said. "Your real name?""I just told you.""You lied. Your real name is Alex Rider.""Why ask if you think you know?”

“I don't know what I'd do without you. There's no one else to look after me. And it's not just that. I sometimes think you're the only person who really knows me. I only feel normal when I'm with you.”

“You must have been going very fast.""I was, until I hit the fence.”

“You have to take responsibility for who you are”

“ When are you at your most defenseless?”
