“I don’t trust the answers or the people who give me the answers. I believe in dirt and bone and flowers and fresh pasta and salsa cruda and red wine. I don’t believe in white wine; I insist on color.”
Charles Bowden

“There are two ways to lose you sanity in Juarez. One is to believe the violence results from a cartel war. The other is to claim to understand what is behind each murder.”

Charles Bowden
“We all share a biology and deep drives, and what we have created -- civilization, courtesy, decency -- is a mesh that comes from those drives and also contains and tames them. Whatever feels good is not necessarily good. But what I learn is whatever is bad is not necessarily alien to me. Or to you.”
Charles Bowden, Touchstone Anthology of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction: Work from 1970 to the Present

Charles Bowden
“Thirty or forty years from now, the American adventures into the bowels of the Middle East will be forgotten details of a bumbling imperialism. But what...is taking place all along the line will profoundly alter the future of the United States.”
Charles Bowden, Dreamland: The Way Out of Juarez

Charles Bowden
“Being alive is gardening and cooking and birds and green and blue, at the very least.”
Charles Bowden
