“I’d never want to go back now though, be one of those fifty-something-year-old’s trying to sage up to the young ones, desperate to be listened to, praised, and imagined great by the unshowered few. No, I’ll take my memories of adventurous experiments that put me right where I am now, in the forest of my own making, and settle.”

“Now, in my fifties, I wake up knowing exactly where I am. My windows are open, which I remember opening last night. I am naked, and I remember taking off and throwing my dirty clothes in a hamper I bought the other day at the equivalent of a Hungarian Target here in Budapest. I wake up with eyes wide and I don’t need coffee but I enjoy the ritual. I am right where I’m supposed to be, fully aware, and shame no longer follows me like a reticent dog being belly-dragged on a leash. With this clarity comes an interest in smiles and honest laughter and the patience to suck the nutrients from all those walks of life that now tickle my senses. Morning has me in its grip and I’ll walk today, I’ll stroll to the river or up the hill or to a coffee shop to witness and engage. The world is a hard and unforgiving dark alleyway. Sometimes the riot of a bar fight becomes a communal heaven we never saw coming. For now, I’ll marvel, sufficiently stunned, at the fortune of it all. Amen.”

“Life at Hoover’s sang in all of us without knowing we’d ever lose the song. But the song has dimmed into a memory of an era where hardship sculpted character and the resulting music spoke in a soothing voice you never saw coming. Country blood runs clean, and clean ain’t what this world sings no more.”

“I’m the same ole guy, just getting older, more able to appreciate the humility of being able to be here at all, anywhere at all; I can still wake up in bed and wander through my memories before it’s too late.”
― Josh Brolin, From Under the Truck: A Decidedly Un-Celebrity Memoir from the Enigmatic Actor
