The Goodby People Quotes

“a great many people live in wonderful houses with a ghastly stinking cellar underneath. They never go down there, of course, but once in a while some creature comes up.”

“On a late afternoon in late summer the air-pollution count is 0.37, and sunlight mists the headstone of a star who was born, then died young. Beyond the lines of markers a boulevard growls with traffic and a billboard on stilts announces Elvis Presley in Las Vegas. The distant Santa Monica mountains, blurred with heat and smoke, look as desolate as a photograph of the moon.”
― Gavin Lambert, The Goodby People
