“Be as circumspect as you feel is needed," she'd told me. "But do not deny who you are. There will always be someone looking to beat you down. Do not do their job for them.”
Stephen Spotswood, Fortune Favors the Dead

“Hold on tight to what you can while you can. There's not a better world out there. There never will be.
Unless we make it.”
Stephen Spotswood, Fortune Favors the Dead

“I wouldn't go so far as to say the Mad Russian was like a father figure to me. More like a perpetually drunk uncle who let me play with sharp things at a tender age.”
Stephen Spotswood, Murder Under Her Skin
