For the record, I really, really dislike this book- It just had some really good points and inspiring quotes in it.

• "Fella havin' fun, he don't give a damn; but a fella mean an' lonely an' old an' disappointed- he's scared of dyin'!"
• "They's a time of change, an' when that comes, dyin' is a piece of all dyin', and bearin' is a piece of all bearin', an' bearin' and dyin' is two pieces of the same thing. An' then things ain't lonely anymore."
• Don't worry yourself. [...] Take your breath in when you need it, an' let it go when you need to."
• "It don't take no nerve to do somepin when there ain't nothin' else you can do."
• "Everybody got sins. A sin is somepin you ain't sure about. Them people that's sure about ever'thing an' ain't got no sin- well, with that kind a son-of-a-bitch, if I was God I'd kick their ass right outta heaven! I couldn' stand 'em!"
• "Ever see a cock pheasant, stiff and beautiful, every feather drawed an' painted, an' even his eyes drawn in pretty? An' bang! You pick him up- bloody and twisted, an' you spoiled somepin better'n you, an' eatin' him don't never make it up to you, 'cause you spoiled somepin in yaself, an' you can't never fix it up."
