Headquarters Detachment

Famous quotes containing the words headquarters and/or detachment:

“What does headquarters think these guys came over here for, a sewing circle? They go up playing for keeps. Cops and robbers with rocks in the snowballs. Brass knuckles and lead pipes and a roughneck conviction they can lick any man in the world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
