Charles Portis
“Nothing I like to do pays well.”
Charles Portis, True Grit

Rudyard Kipling
“Of all the liars in the world, sometimes the worst are our own fears.”
Rudyard Kipling, The Collected Works of Rudyard Kipling: Captains Courageous - Kim

Charles Portis
“You must pay for everything in this world one way and another. There is nothing free except the Grace of God. You cannot earn that or deserve it.”
Charles Portis, True Grit

Patrick deWitt
“It is hard to find a friend,' I said. 'It is the hardest thing in this world,' he agreed.”
Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers

Patrick deWitt
“Here lies Morris, a good man and friend. He enjoyed the finer points of civilized life but never shied away from a hearty adventure or hard work. He died a free man, which is more than most people can say, if we are going to be honest about it. Most people are chained to their own fear and stupidity and haven't the sense to level a cold eye at just what is wrong with their lives. Most people will continue on, dissatisfied but never attempting to understand why, or how they might change things for the better, and they die with nothing in their hearts but dirt and old, thin blood - weak blood, diluted - and their memories aren't worth a goddamned thing, you will see what I mean.”
Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers
