“Sometimes, when he was alone in the world, when he only had himself for company, he could feel the heartbeat of something bigger, something more magnificent than his own minute presence, as if the depth of the world was calling out to him, calling him back to a place where his faith once led him, to a place where the glory and connection to his soul were unmistakable.”

“Love means there’s no end. Not today, not tomorrow, and not a single breath I take, will be without love for you. In the stars, in the oceans, and in the woods, you will find my love. I’ve had the opportunity to love you, to feel deeply, and there is no end to that love. To my beautiful Luca, I will love you always. Rest in peace.”
― Peter O'Mahoney, The Southern Criminal

“He hated the games politicians played, the backroom deals, and how the powerful played with the lives of the innocent like they were worthless. He hated how the corrupt hid behind veils of media spin, how the rich influenced decisions with the promise of campaign donations, and how the players made a mockery of moral decision-making. He did his best to avoid it, he did his best to steer clear, however, in his world, the world of law and justice, politics was an inevitable dilemma.”
― Peter O'Mahoney, Losing Justice
