“Our dwelling is but a wandering, and our abiding is but a fleeting, and in a word our home is nowhere.”
― Sam Shepard, Day Out of Days: Stories

“CROW: Harrison, Beatle did that ancient. It cuts a thinner slice with us. Roles fall to birth blood. We’re star marked and playing inter-galactic modes. Some travel past earthbound and score on Venus, Neptune, Mars.

― Sam Shepard, Tooth of Crime

“Now? Why now? Why am I missing her now, Frankie? Why not then? When she was there? Why am I afraid that I'm gonna' lose her when she's already gone. And this fear--this fear swarms through me--floods my whole body 'til there's nothing left. Nothing left of me. And then it turns--it turns to a fear for my whole life. Like my whole life is lost from losing her. Gone. That I'll die like this. Lost. Just lost.”
― Sam Shepard, A Lie of the Mind

“I'm inhabiting a life I'm not supposed to be in... and at certain times in my life, I have felt a wrongness. And not a moral wrongness but a sense that this isn't what I was born to be doing.”
― Sam Shepard
