Quotes by Joseph S. Pulver Sr. (?)

“Off the street. Out of the wind. Into a bar . . . like a million other bars . . . bottles of lies to ease pain . . . dollar bills traded to dose the dreams of hungry eyes . . . men transmuted from dust . . . women knitted from dead tomorrows, legs crossed, the language of their painted smiles ready to find the other side open . . .”
― Joseph S. Pulver Sr., The Orphan Palace
