Quote by Quentin R. Bufogle

“Writing is the dragon that lives underneath my floorboards. The one I incessantly feed for fear it may turn and devour my ass. Writing is the friend who doesn't return my phone calls; the itch I'm unable to scratch; a dinner invitation from a cannibal; elevator music for a narcoleptic. Writing is the hope of lifting all boats by pissing in the ocean. Writing isn't something that makes me happy like a good cup of coffee. It's just something I do because not writing, as I've found, is so much worse.”

“Weaver smiled as he remembered, word-for-word, his criminal procedure professor’s ‘three rules’ lecture for criminal defense lawyers: ‘One, get the money up front; two, the client does the time, not you, and three, get the money up front.’ Zachary Blake was a guy who always got paid, one way or another.”
