“You’re like that black-and-yellow strip of tape the police stretch across a crime scene. Everything about you screams ‘do not cross.’ And like my friends down south say, my momma didn’t raise no fool. I know a dangerous woman when I see one.”
― Lotchie Burton, Dante's Revenge

“Callan sucked in a breath. As a sniper, he’d been trained by the Marines to know and recognize moments. 

Moments when all the training—his focused mind, muscle memory, weapon knowledge . . . 

When all the preparation—target reconnaissance, angle of attack, position scouting . . . 

When all the setup—hidden amid the terrain, barrel aimed, trajectory known . . . 

When everything came together in one crucial moment—when the sniper squeezed the trigger and took his shot.”
― J. Rose Black, Losing My Breath

“Excessive fear and self-doubt that were the greatest detractors of personal genius.”
― Robert T. Kiyosaki, Rich Dad, Poor Dad

“But how you'd please me, night! without those stars
Whose light speaks in a language I have known!
Since I seek for the black, the blank, the bare!”
― Charles Baudelaire, Flowers of Evil: A Selection
