1 " Readin’ good books is like meetin’ a girl you wanna get to know bettah, "
― Walter Mosley , Rose Gold (Easy Rawlins #13)
2 " If Satan played bingo in hell, I had just gotten my final winning/losing number. "
3 " A man must support his own weight, no matter how much money or power he has; that is the law of gravity. "
4 " It didn’t matter that it wouldn’t last. Beauty never did. "
5 " The roads twist and turn up there like maggots on an overripe peach. "
6 " A big part of my life was spent getting the keys for or driving my car. My constant friend was the radio, and most of my conversations were not face-to-face but side by side in the front seat or through the rearview mirror of some jalopy that I would drive until it gave out and I had to buy a new one. I was like some kind of futuristic hermit crab being carried by my temporary husk from place to place rather than feeling the sun on my head or my feet on the ground. "
7 " Mothers and fathers of our heritage nurtured hopes of our children fading into the background like that uninspired building and its brethren. If they went unnoticed they had a shot at living fruitful lives, unmolested by the predators that picked off our heroes, and villains, every time one of them reared their head. "
