“Up there the world is divided into bastards and suckers. Make your choice.”
― Derek Robinson, Piece of Cake

“Tell me anything.
Tell me everything.
Revoke our time apart.
Love me fierce in danger.”
― James Ellroy, White Jazz

“Good evening peepers, prowlers, pederasts, panty-sniffers, punks and pimps. I'm James Ellroy, the demon dog, the foul owl with the death growl, the white knight of the far right, and the slick trick with the donkey dick. I'm the author of 16 books, masterpieces all; they precede all my future masterpieces. These books will leave you reamed, steamed and drycleaned, tie-dyed, swept to the side, true-blued, tattooed and bah fongooed. These are books for the whole fuckin' family, if the name of your family is Manson.”
― James Ellroy
