Quotes by Michael Anthony

Gunner shook his head; he wasnt in the mood. He stared down at his bottle as he spoke. Yeah, and what if I do go after it and what if I find no one, and Im alone for the next sixty years? What then? Huh? Friends and family will get married. Ill be stuck buying gifts. Years pass: children, birthday parties. At dinner parties, Ill be odd man out, forcing people to arrange five chairs around a table instead of four or six.

Lets say the girl is a few pounds overweight, has fizzy hair and an annoying laugh, but at this point, Im also a few pounds overweight and my hair is thinning and my laughter is annoying.

I couldnt see killing myself if I had a book that was only half-read: Fountainhead, Catcher in the Rye, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, One Hundred Years of Solitude?
