“...I am happy to welcome you to a town peopled in morons exclusively. Furthermore, I hope that your transformation to moron is not an unpleasant experience.”
Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Two there are who are never satisfied -- the lover of the world and the lover of knowledge.”
Rumi Jalalud-Din, مثنوی معنوی

Patrick deWitt
“Mayfield said, "You asked what I was thinking. Well, I will tell you. I was thinking that a man like myself, after suffering such a blow as you men have struck on this day, has two distinct paths he might travel in his life.

Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers
