Sherman Alexie Quotes

He'd been just like all of the other performers in the world. He'd wanted to be universally loved. He wasn't all that different from Victor, Thomas, or even Junior.

They wanted the audience to trust them with their secrets.

Sherman Alexie

Money and office and success are the consolations of impotence. Fortune turns kind to such solid people and lets them suck their bone in peace.
