Max Allan Collins quotes:

Evelyn: Look, I... I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am. Rick: And what is that? Evelyn: I... am a librarian. The Mummy (1999)

Everyone needs help. That's the human condition.

If you're turned away from one road, there's always another--filled with risk but also adventure. Roads less taken are always the most rewarding ones.

Rick: Can you swim? Evelyn: Well, of course I can swim if the occasion calls for it. Rick: [throwing her overboard] Trust me. It calls for it.
