Quotes

• “There’s no freedom quite like the freedom of being constantly underestimated.”

• “Advice,” chuckled Doña Vorchenza. “The years play a sort of alchemical trick, transmuting one’s mutterings to a state of respectability. Give advice at forty and you’re a nag. Give it at seventy and you’re a sage.”

• “Only gods-damned fools die for lines drawn on maps.”

• “I find it best to make corpses of complications.”

• “Push your luck, gorgeous, and eventually luck pushes back.”
