Quotes
“Fire is the reuniting of matter with oxygen. If one bears that in mind, every blaze may be seen as a reunion, an occasion of chemical joy.”
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Chapter 14 “Of course I’ve contradicted myself. I always do. Only cretins and logicians don’t contradict themselves. And in their consistency, they contradict life.”
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Chapter 72 “Twenty candles on a cake. Twenty Camels in a pack. Twenty months in the federal pen. Twenty shots of tequila down a young girl’s gullet. Twenty centuries since Our Lord’s last pratfall, and after all that time we still don’t know where passion goes when it goes.”
Still Life with Woodpecker “Hawaii made the mouth of her soul water.”
Still Life with Woodpecker “The function of the artist is to provide what life does not.”
