Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "No such thing as a hard woman, Memphis, just soft men. With..."
No such thing as a hard woman, Memphis, just soft men. With that, I turned, and the others followed me. Laurell K. Hamilton
Sharp knives seemed to cut her delicate feet, yet she hardly felt them, so deep was the pain in her heart. She could not forget that this was the last night she would ever see the one for whom she had left her home and family, had given up her beautiful voice, and had day by day endured unending torment, of which he knew nothing at all. An eternal night awaited her. Hans Christian Andersen
I think the worst one [indian mascot] is the Cleveland Indians' Big Chief Wahoo. It's just a red face on a baseball with a big, toothy grin. It's the Sambo of all other offensive mascots. I have never seen a Native American smile that hard before, not even at a casino opening. Wanda Sykes

David Foster Wallace
