“To all the writers who torment their characters the way God torments the poor and sick.”
Mr. W, The Craziest Book Ever Written

Robert M. Coates
“Alive or dead," he told himself, "I am just so much manure. One hundred and sixty-five pounds of it, belong by right to the nearest field of corn. Take me out among the hills and lay me down there, a willing hostage from mankind, a tribute to the silent way, the august overlordship of the Vegetable Kingdom.”
Robert M. Coates, The Eater of Darkness
