Pieces Quotes (page 47)

Losing patience he started pulling and, as he did so, tore out the entire bloody gullet of the fish with parts of its intestines attached. Paul shuddered, feeling himself equally torn apart. It seemed to him... Guy de Maupassant

I would traverse not once more, but often, the hell of my inner being. Herman Hesse

He said to catch the wolf the boy should find that place where the acts of God and those of man are of one piece. Where they cannot be distinguished...

He said that it was at such places that God sits and conspires in the destruction of... Cormac McCarthy
