Mr. Monk in Trouble Quotes

“So there you have it: Nature is a rotten mess. But that's only the beginning. If you take your eyes off it for one second, it will kill you. Thorns, insects, fungus, worms, birds, reptiles, wild animals, raging rivers, bottomless ravines, dry deserts, snow, quicksand, tumbleweeds, sap, and mud. Rot, poison and death. That's Nature."
"It's a wonder you even step outside of your cabin," I said.
"My bravery exceeds my good sense," he said.”
― Lee Goldberg, Mr. Monk in Trouble

“Tumbleweeds,” Monk said. He was terrified of them. “What do tumbleweeds have to do with anything?” Stottlemeyer said. “It’s an Old West town,” Monk said. “The Old West is where tumbleweeds like to tumble.” “I’ll protect you,” I said. “How?” “If any tumbleweeds come along, I’ll throw myself in front of them.” “You’d do that for me?” he asked. “Just like I did when you were nearly hit by that runaway dandelion a few weeks ago.”
