Book cover for On the Run: An Angler's Journey Down the Striper Coast
When I set the hook on a nice fish, Gartside asked, “How far out was he?” “Just outside the mud line,” I told him. “That’s where I thought they’d be. Don’t be a barnacle. Keep covering ground after you land him.”

Joe Abercrombie
“Don’t look too far ahead. That was what Olaf used to say. Before she killed him”
Joe Abercrombie, The Devils

“Now, in my fifties, I wake up knowing exactly where I am. My windows are open, which I remember opening last night. I am naked, and I remember taking off and throwing my dirty clothes in a hamper I bought the other day at the equivalent of a Hungarian Target here in Budapest. I wake up with eyes wide and I don’t need coffee but I enjoy the ritual. I am right where I’m supposed to be, fully aware, and shame no longer follows me like a reticent dog being belly-dragged on a leash. With this clarity comes an interest in smiles and honest laughter and the patience to suck the nutrients from all those walks of life that now tickle my senses. Morning has me in its grip and I’ll walk today, I’ll stroll to the river or up the hill or to a coffee shop to witness and engage. The world is a hard and unforgiving dark alleyway. Sometimes the riot of a bar fight becomes a communal heaven we never saw coming. For now, I’ll marvel, sufficiently stunned, at the fortune of it all. Amen.”
Josh Brolin, From Under the Truck: A Decidedly Un-Celebrity Memoir from the Enigmatic Actor

“When I set the hook on a nice fish, Gartside asked, “How far out was he?” “Just outside the mud line,” I told him. “That’s where I thought they’d be. Don’t be a barnacle. Keep covering ground after you land him.”
David DiBenedetto, On the Run: An Angler's Journey Down the Striper Coast

Joe Abercrombie
“Brother Diaz swallowed. “That’s…” He hardly knew what that was. She was an enemy of God”
Joe Abercrombie, The Devils

Joe Abercrombie
“She looked even less like royalty than usual. Her wet hair had come loose and stuck to her pale cheek”
Joe Abercrombie, The Devils
