Book cover for Quarry's Ex
These were the good solid salt-of-the-earth Americans I had gone off to war to protect, who had presumably benefitted from all those little yellow people I killed, making the world safe for idiocy. I hoped they fucking appreciated it.

Edward Bunker
“Gatsby was great, but most unlikely. Gatsby was too unreal. Although I thought Fitzgerald wrote as well as any American novelist in the twentieth century, Gatsby was as far from truth as Fu Manchu. He was too soft to be what he was storied to be. Gatsby might be a cat burglar, but Gatsby was definitely not a gangster. He lacked the force of will to compel tough men to his bidding simply by force of will. He failed another test; he was too weak for a broad.”
Edward Bunker, Education of a Felon: A Memoir

Jack Carr
“Remember, a fight isn’t just about surviving, it’s about prevailing. There’s a difference.”
Jack Carr, True Believer

Edward Bunker
“Reading taught me that prison had been the crucible that had formed several great writers. Cervantes wrote much of Don Quixote in a prison cell, and Dostoyevski was a mediocre writer until he was sentenced to death, commuted within a few hours of execution, and then sent to prison in Siberia.”
Edward Bunker, Education of a Felon: A Memoir

Lionel Shriver
“Please tell me you’re not listening to that Shriver woman. She’s a hysteric. And so annoyingly smug, as if she wants civilization to collapse, just so she can be proved right. I can’t bear the sound of her voice.”
Lionel Shriver, Should We Stay or Should We Go

Edward Bunker
“The thief’s underworld, which is different from that of the mafiosi, gang bangers, and racketeers, has many adages and observations. If you can’t do the time don’t mess with crime is the best-known. Another is: A thief’s nerve is in direct proportion to his financial condition. Or: Hard times make hard people.”
Edward Bunker, Education of a Felon: A Memoir
