“An onion can make people cry, but an entertaining novel can make people cry and laugh, and smile, and relax.” by David Bishop.

“If fast food restaurants sold men, he would be the ninety-nine-cent special.” Maddie Richards in The Beholder.

“Money is something about which one can be more principled after they have an adequate supply.” Matt Kile in Who Murdered Garson Talmadge.

“I have always had trouble recorking an opened curiosity.” Matt Kile in Who Murdered Garson Talmadge.”
David Bishop

“Life is what happens to us on the way to our dreams.”
David Bishop, Death of a Bankster

“Politically connected. A fixer. He takes money from big business and others and passes it on to some members of congress to get a loophole into the law, or to a regulator to not do their job. To look the other way or sign off on something that’s supposed to have been prevented through the regulatory process.”
David Bishop, The Woman
