I Am Pilgrim
Quotes from the Book
I’ve been waiting my whole life to fuck up like this.
I've always remembered. This fellow said to me - if you think someones'doing you wrong, it's not for you to judge. Kill them first and then God can do the judging.
If you couldn't tell the difference between what hurt and what didn't, you had no business being alive. You can't have any good times if you can't tell.
If you haven't fought for your life for something you want, you don't know what's life all about.
He sat desiring the girl - a speed-hardened straw-colored junkie stewardess, a spoiled Augustana Lutheran, compounded of airport Muzak and beauty parlor school. Her eyes were fouled with smog and propane spray.
The desires of the heart...are as crooked as a corkscrew.
The richest fuckin' people in the richest country in the world - you gonna tell them some little guy in a hole in South America can have something they can't? Like shit, man. If the little guy in the hole can be a revolutionary, they can be revolutionaries too.
Don't be afraid to ask for a rise, Sagittarius. Your boss always pay you less than your work is actually worth!
