Quotes by William F. Nolan (?)

“One thing the young were sure of; they would never again place their fate in the hands of an older generation.”
― William F. Nolan, Logan's Run

“The seeds of the Little War were planted in a restless summer during the mid-1960s, with sit-ins and student demonstrations as youth tested its strength. By the early 1970s over 75 percent of the people living on Earth were under 21 years of age. The population continued to climb—and with it the youth percentage.
In the 1980s the figure was 79.7 percent.
In the 1990s, 82.4 percent.
In the year 2000—critical mass.”
― William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson; David Kraft; George Perez [Illustrator], Logan's Run

“Hammett claimed to have based the Op on the man who had trained him to be a detective, the Pinkerton Agency's Jimmy Wright of Baltimore. Wright taught young Hammett a basic code:
Don't cheat your client.
Stay anonymous.
Avoid undue physical risks.
Be objective.
Don't become emotionally involved with a client.
And never violate your integrity.
This code stayed with Hammett; it not only served him while he was a working detective, but it also gave him a set of personal rules that shaped his actions throughout his life.”
― William F. Nolan, Nightmare Town: Stories
