Quotes by Greg Hrbek (?)

“It's the same way people have always felt. Since the days we lived in caves and feared the violence of nature and then dreamed up the idea of gods and feared their anger and then joined together in groups and came to fear each other.”
― Greg Hrbek, Not on Fire, but Burning

“The things you loved as a boy, you want them around you when you’re an old man. The Marvins, Black River, Dreamgarden.”

“For a moment, you won't be certain what you've done. What you've done is this: You have done the best you could. On the darkest of pathways, you have managed to stay true to the better angel of your nature.”
