Joan Hess
“...I didn't feel overly safe and secure in the hotel, even with cops in the kitchen and cops in the dining room and cops in the alley out back. Hell's bells, I was a cop, and I sure wouldn't have depended on me for anything more than a neatly written parking ticket.”
Joan Hess, Maggody in Manhattan

Mark  Hill
“The boy loved his parents more than anything on this Earth. And so he had to kill them.”
Mark Hill, The Two O'Clock Boy
