“…the Lord Blacks are the type of allies who will likely drive you to horrible ruin or great fortune. But either way, you'll probably have a bit too much fun getting there." [Jimmy Potter quoting Lord Peter Potter] (Chapter 12)”

“Because I have subjected my colleagues (if I am allowed to assign such an appellation to those whose practices I so often find deficient) to a direct fire-line of criticism, and I understand fully the pain such treatment can inflict, I will assure all that I take pains to be as fair, thorough, and helpful as possible. Nowhere in my criticism will you find spoilers (as so many reviews contain) and always will you come across examples to back up my claims. Never will you see slander sprung from resentment, personal vendetta, bias or gratuitous pejorative.”

“Non è compito di nessuno giudicare il Cardinale Spellman se non come scrittore, e come scrittore è un po’ scarso. Certo si ha la soddisfazione di sapere che acquistando una copia di "The Foundling" si stanno aiutando gli orfani a cui vanno i proventi della vendita; dopodiché si può usare il libro come fermaporta.”
