Nelson Algren
“    "You ever been arrested before?"
    "No sir. This is my first time."
    "The first time this week, you mean."
    "Oh, I been arrested in Michigan. I thought you meant in Illinois. I never been arrested in Illinois. I never did no wrong in Illinois."
    "What good does that do you?"
    "It don't. It's just that I love my state so much I go to Michigan to steal," he explained with an expression almost beatific.”
Nelson Algren, The Neon Wilderness

“Things are more like they are now...than they have EVER been before!”
