Quotes by Joel Goldman (?)

“If man doesn't dream, he has nothing."
"A man whose dreams will never come true still has nothing.”

“Mason had once driven that road all the way to Liberal, Kansas. Eight hours of seamless prairie, thinking about the pioneers who had dared to cross that land 150 years ago. There must have been moments when they looked in every direction, finding nothing to reveal where they were, where they’d been, or where they were going.”
― Joel Goldman, Motion To Kill

“sight all that sounds?” Harry asked. “That’s why I take my fee up front,” Smith said. “No offense, Lou,” he added. “Harry’s right. It doesn’t make sense,” Blues said. “King was acquitted of the Byrnes murders. He could take out an ad on a billboard admitting he did it and never do a day in jail. A civil case is just money and he has enough to make that go away.” “Dixon, are you trying”
― Joel Goldman, Deadlocked
