Quotes by Jeff Lemire

My dad made me write them over and over until I knew them like I knew my own name...Number five: never have a fire in the daytime, cause people could see the smoke and come and get us.Number four: if I ever see anyone other than my dad, I run, and keep running.Number three: always say my prayers, so as God dont get mad at me and decide to come make me sick too.Numer two: never forget to pray for my momma, cause she was the best and prettiest lady God ever made.Number one: never, ever leave the woods.
