Quotes by Chad Schimke  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Their religion was devotion to the human soul. Their sustenance was its flesh and blood. Their limitless love reached out, to what on the surface, they appeared to be. But they were not, that was an illusion.”
Chad Schimke, Walker

“Any first rate novel or story must have in it the strength of a dozen fairly good stories that have been sacrificed to it. A good workman can't be a cheap workman; he can't be stingy about wasting material, and he cannot compromise. Excerpt taken from On the Art of Fiction by Willa Cather circa 1920.”
Willa Cather

I lived there for many years and have been deeply effected by the lives and cultures of New Mexico. Picker grew out of one specific aspect, I am excited to hear what you think about it. Thanks for asking! :0)
