Quotes by Anthony J. Melchiorri (?)

“There wasn’t going to be any dramatic rescue if we screwed this up. My best, closest opportunity for help was a criminal overlord sitting in my ship with my plant-based AI. Not super reassuring.”
― Anthony J. Melchiorri, Spectral Prey

“But my grandpa, one of the Greatest Generation, always told me a brave man isn’t unafraid. He just knows how to look fear in the face and say, ‘screw it.”
― Anthony J. Melchiorri, Sunken Spaceship

“Our situation reminded me of a quote I’d heard before: “The winner of a knife fight is the one that dies in the ambulance instead of on the street.”
