Always baffles me when someone said “I didn’t hear about that when I was a kid.” Of course you didn’t. You were a child. You hadn’t heard of most things. I didn’t know who Paul Newman was when I was a kid, that doesn’t mean he didn’t exist.

"What if a man was built like an icebreaker and moved like a dancer, and everywhere he went awful people sneered at him and refused to back down and he had to break all their bones." Like if I was a henchman or goon and I saw Reacher in the wild I'd go home and rethink my life.
