John Fante
“The celestial hypothesis is sheer propaganda formulated by the haves to delude the havenots.”
John Fante, The Road to Los Angeles

“All these humans have left no space for anything else.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

John Fante
“Religion is the opium of the people.”
John Fante, The Road to Los Angeles

“Black man cleans the streets but mustn't walk freely on the pavement; Black man must build houses for the white man but cannot live in them; Black man cooks the white man's food but eats what is left over. Don't listen to anyone bluff you and say Black and white are brothers.”
Es’kia Mphahlele

John Fante
“I wasn't smart, but I always passed. Here was one: Arithmetic 70; History 80; Geography 70; Spelling 80; Religion 99; English 97. Never any trouble with religion or English for Arturo Bandini. And here was one of Mona's: Arithmetic 96; History 95; Geography 97; Spelling 94; Religion 90; English 90. She could beat me at other things, but never at English or religion. Ho! Very amusing, this. A great piece of anecdote for the biographers of Arturo Bandini. God's worst enemy making higher marks in religion than God's best friend, and both in the same family. A great irony. What a biography that would be! Ah Lord, to be alive and read it!”
John Fante, The Road to Los Angeles
