- “Dinoli had to clawed himself to first rank in public relations by sheer exertion, coupled with judicious backstabbing.”
- “His name would fade from the front pages in a few days; he knew too much about communications media to believe that his current notoriety would last.”
- “When you poison a man in order to sell him the antidote, you don’t boast about it afterward to the victim!”
- “Political theorists tend to swallow their theories when forced back on pragmatic measures of survival.”
