“At this time, about the only thing that was still regarded as perverted was a public display of affection toward one’s wife.”
John Maddox Roberts, The Catiline Conspiracy

“The Claudians," I observed, "are a family of insane hereditary criminals.”
John Maddox Roberts

“Pugilism is the silliest of all combat arts. It consists of taking the human hand, with its multitude of tiny, frangible bones, and smashing it against the human skull, a most unyielding target.”
John Maddox Roberts, The King's Gambit
