Everybody has a gun in their car in Detroit.

Life is sentimental. Why should I be cold and hard about it? That's the main content. The biggest thing in people's lives is their loves and dreams and visions, you know.

I do have trouble with titles.

Barring love I'll take my life in large doses alone--rivers, forests, fish, grouse, mountains. Dogs.

Nothing on my trip thus far was as I expected which shows you that rather than simply read about the United States you have to log the journey.

We Americans are trained to think big, talk big, act big, love big, admire bigness but then the essential mystery is in the small.

You touch things lightly or deeply; you move along because life herself moves, and you can’t stop it.
