“More people saying what they believe would be a great improvement. Because I often do I am unfit for common intercourse.-Nero Wolfe in "Blood Will Tell”
“I knew how to use a dictionary, and if I was going to be spending time around Nero Wolfe, I would have to buy one."-Archie Goodwin in Archie Meets Nero Wolfe”
“Often, what people don't say tell you more about the nature of their insecurities than what they do say.”
“But by blood, no wolf am I”
“I try to know what I need to know. I make sure to know what I want to know.(Nero Wolfe)”
“He said that men believe the blood of the slain to be of no consequence but that the wolf knows better. He said that the wolf is a being of great order and that it knows what men do not: that there is no order in this world save that which death has put there.”
