"It wasn't altogether a relaxing life. I didn't exactly keep my finger on the panic button, but I put a lot of mileage on my running shoes. I madę a lot of exits through side doors, fire escapes, and e'dven rooftops. I abandoned more wardrobes in five years that most men acquire in a lifetime. I was slipperier than buttered escargot." (page 4)
"I rationalized my actions. If people were stupid enough to ca$h a check without verifying its validity, they deserved to be swindled." (page 25)
"There is enchantment in wearing a uniform, esp9ecially one that marks the wearer as a person of rare skills, courage, or achievement. A paratrooper's wings tell of a special breed of soldier. A submarinery's dolphin denotes the unusual sailor. A policeman's blue symbolizes authority. A forest ranger's raiment evokes wilderness lore. Even a doozman's grudy garb stars vauge thoughts of pomp and royalty." (page 45)
"The officers on my case were all phantoms to me." (page 99)
"You two ought to get along. Jason is one of our assistant state attorneys. And Bob here is a lawyer who never hung out his shingle. He became a pilot insead." (page 99)
"Basically my position was a haven, a lair not likely to be discovered by the hounds. When you're looking for a criminal, you dont okten think to look for him on the attorney general's staff of prosecutors, especially if you're seeking a teenage high school dropout." (page 107)
