“The Statue of Liberty, that frequently malevolent bitch, has an enormous tumor in her gut that has spread to her brain and eyes. With regard to the Native Americans she has Alzheimer's or mad cow disease and can't remember her past, and her blind eyes can't see the terrifying plight of most of the Indian tribes. Meanwhile she blows China and stomps Cuba to death, choosing to forget the Native cultures she has already destroyed.”
― Jim Harrison, On the Trail to Wounded Knee: The Big Foot Memorial Ride

“Death steals everything except our stories.”
― Jim Harrison, In Search of Small Gods

“You’ll never be fainthearted or a fool,
Telémakhos, if you have your father’s spirit;
he finished what he cared to say,
and what he took in hand he brought to pass.”
― Homer, Fitzgerald translation

“I like grit, I like love and death, I'm tired of irony.”
― Jim Harrison
