They had no curiosity about him at all. As if they knew all that they needed to know. They stood and watched him pass
and watched him vanish upon that landscape solely because he
was passing. Solely because he would vanish.

…a great yearning for freedom, but only his own…love of truth and honor…but not in its substance. And a deep conviction that nothing can be proven except that it be made to bleed. Virgins, bulls, men. Ultimately God himself.

…and she rode…through the low hills…onto the upper pasturelands…until the rain caught her up and shrouded her figure away in that wild summer landscape: real horse, real rider, real land and sky and yet a dream withal.

The captain half turned to
him with some new complaint but he only hugged his loathesome charge more fondly, the captain tottering woodenly in the saddle before him with his pain like a storedummy carried off for a prank.

He bought a small awol bag in a store...

I think from what you told me you done real well to get out of there with a whole hide. Maybe the best thing to do might be just to go on and put it behind you. My daddy used to tell me not to chew on somethin that was eatin you.

There was an electricity in the air.
Everything seemed possible, I
thought that there were thousands like us. Like Francisco. Like Gustavo. There were not. Finally in the end it seemed there were none.

2. Because they had no clothes of their own and they would rent
them for the day and return home at night in their blankets and rags. They had nothing.

You think you know something of my life. An old woman
whose past perhaps has left her bitter. Jealous of the happiness
of others. It is an ordinary story. But it is not mine.

Yet the captain inhabited…a space of his own election…the terms of election were of a piece with its office and once chosen that world could not be quit.

knew when I bought the knife what I'd bought it for.
I dont see where you were wrong.
The cigarette glowed, it faded. I know, he said. But you didn't do it.

John Grady watched the small ragged figure vanish…with his keepers. There seemed insufficient substance to him to be the object of men's wrath. There seemed nothing about him sufficient to fuel any enterprise at all.

Maybe some day it will come to visit you. Maybe it already has.

There aint but one truth, said John Grady. The truth is what happened. It aint what come out of somebody's mouth.

LA prison is like a-how do you call it? A salón de belleza.
A beauty parlor.
A beauty parlor, It is a big place for gossip. Everybody knows the story of everybody. Because crime is very interesting.
Everybody knows that.

Yeah…Judgment day.
When you think that'll be?
Whenever He decides to hold it.

He chalked, he moved. He bent and shot and then stood surveying the new lay of the table.
Beware gentle knight, There is no greater monster than reason.

She was so pale in the lake she seemed to
be burning. Like foxfire in a darkened wood. That burned cold,.
Like the moon that burned cold.
