Pete Dexter
“The boy shot Wild Bill's horse at dusk, while Bill was off in the bushes to relieve himself”
Pete Dexter, Deadwood

Charles Portis
“You're afraid of smart women, aren't you?'
She had used this ploy before, having heard via the female bush telegraph that it was unanswerable. She was right though. I was leery of them. Art and Mike said taking an intellectual woman into your home was like taking in a baby raccoon. They were both amusing for a while but soon became randomly vicious and learned how to open the refrigerator.”
Charles Portis, Gringos

Henry Lawson
“I was human, very human, and if in the days misspent
I have injured man or woman, it was done without intent.
If at times I blundered blindly — bitter heart and aching brow —
If I wrote a line unkindly — I am sorry for it now.”
Henry Lawson

Pete Dexter
“Leon Hubbard died ten minutes into lunch break on the first Monday in May, on the construction site of the new one-storey trauma wing at Holy Redeemer Hospital in South Philadelphia. One way or the other, he was going to lose the job.”
Pete Dexter, God's Pocket

Pete Dexter
“[He] did not understand women. It wasn't the way bartenders or comedians didn't understand women, it was the way poor people didn't understand the economy. You could stand outside the Girard Bank Building every day of your life and never guess anything about what went on in there. That's why, in their hearts, they'd always rather stick up a 7-Eleven.”
Pete Dexter, God's Pocket
