“We crossed the Mississippi and on to Illinois. At Starved Rock, 100 miles south of Chicago, we followed 40 or 50 bikers with 鈥楤ikers against Child Abuse鈥� as their colours. Next was Indiana, with foggy river towns and vast farmlands, Amish homes in Ohio with smoke curling from the chimneys, then 43 miles of unbroken forests and prime trout-water rivers in West Virginia. We stayed overnight and ate fresh game pie, although whether we were eating possum, rabbit or raccoon we never discovered.”

“Nothing to be sorry for. A girl鈥檚 no girl at all for her sisters if she doesn鈥檛 get that sometimes a sister has to share the hurt, sometimes hold it close. That happens, a girl鈥檚 gotta stand by her sister the way she needs her, not the way that girl needs to do it.”

“The DNA in your body determines your hair, your height, your eye color. It does not decide that you are going to get joy out of causing pain and hurting others like he did. It does not decide that you will break down other people so you can stand taller. You decide that, Blair. You get to choose. You get to be whoever the hell you want to be, and honestly, I think you made that choice a long time ago.”

“Truck drivers are great with directions. Landmarks, road conditions, the works. The only problem is that they鈥檒l give you five different routes to just get to the next town. By the time they鈥檙e done, you won鈥檛 know what the hell to do.”

“He was an outsider chasing the unknown.”
― Foster Kinn, The Poet, The Professor, and The Redneck: How Men Die, How They Live

“And he rode faster and faster still so that at last he looked through the eyes of angels and his mind was cleansed of all earthly effects and he reached that higher realm of light in which all things are holy and pure.”
― Foster Kinn, The Poet, The Professor, and the Redneck: How Men Die, How They Live

“The shadows lengthened and they were like newly grown hands of the Dark Companion that grasped at his boots and jeans and vest and hair, and he rode through them and over them, and still they grew and grasped until the shadows consumed the sun as a substitute for his soul.”
― Foster Kinn, The Poet, The Professor, and The Redneck: How Men Die, How They Live

“After saying goodbye to Cassie, Wyatt was alone, an everywhere stranger, his emotions disconnected like old kitchen items strewn around a dump. Loneliness was his only companion. But the loneliness itself was something he simply observed rather than felt so it didn鈥檛 bother him, but he did gradually come to worry about the fact that it didn鈥檛. He wondered if he was dying. Maybe. It didn鈥檛 seem so, but still, maybe he was. Maybe he was already dead. That thought occurred to him, too.”
― Foster Kinn, The Poet, The Professor, and the Redneck: How Men Die, How They Live

“Today, while sitting in my car, I saw a couple of Hell鈥檚 Angels bikers. One smiled at me broadly. I smiled back and gave him a thumbs up. He nodded and was gone in a flash. All is right in the world.”
― Wayne Gerard Trotman

“There was also a term for bikers called 鈥渢arget fixation.鈥� When a rider looked at something for too long and focused on a passing object, or any small distraction to the left or right of him, he had an increased chance of colliding with that object. It was extremely dangerous to fixate. Any concentration expended that was not ahead of the rider oftentimes resulted in severe injury or death. A biker who wanted to live must not be thrown off course. And after miles and miles of riding, of looking ahead, of sixty mile per hour winds piercing his neck, the gloss of his eyes hardening, he naturally never target fixated on things or people either.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost

“And suddenly the motorcyclist felt ignited, that was, in the most subtle spark of need: to live in that alternate, finer side of life that was within reach and waited to be taken. It occurred to him what he wanted. And as that butterfly of chance flew past the biker鈥檚 soul, he eyed it and caught the white-winged sign instantly. There, he said to himself, I鈥檒l go. And he attended to that meteoric obligation鈥攖hat dear, vivacious reality unveiled by leaping humans. The biker wanted to see what a certain future looked like, and excitedly leaned back on his Triumph, released the clutch, and pushing off on the rubber footrests, leaned high up in the air to his right and threw himself off the bike.”

“As for why it鈥檚 you, I don鈥檛 know, I don鈥檛 care.
It just is.
It could be 鈥檆ause you鈥檙e gorgeous.
It could be 鈥檆ause you鈥檙e funny.
It could be 鈥檆ause I like the way you handled Pete when he lost his daughter.
It could be 鈥檆ause you and me got Chaos in common, it鈥檚 us, it鈥檚 in our blood and this was meant to be.
It could be 鈥檆ause I like the way you are with your family.
It could be 鈥檆ause you get off on bein鈥� on the back of my bike almost as much as I get off straddling it.
I figure it鈥檚 all that and more. I am not gonna analyze it. I鈥檓 gonna feel it 鈥檆ause I like it and that鈥檚 all there is to it.”
― Kristen Ashley, Own the Wind

“It wasn鈥檛 about balance or partnership or sharing. It was about unity. They didn鈥檛 keep score, they just gave, and I figure that was why they didn鈥檛 fight. Because if you give, the other person is gonna give because they get that back. So the balance comes natural.”

“Hear? I didn鈥檛 believe it. Not until then. Not until that. Something that was so Logan. He was the only person I knew who said that like he said it. Hear? He鈥檇 said that the first time I met him. He鈥檇 said it a million times after. And he鈥檇 just given it to me again. Not like he did when we were playing our crazy game. Like he used to give it to me. Wars were fought for things that had no meaning. Hearts were broken. Betrayals were committed. Fortunes were paid. Sacrifices were made. All for nothing. All for shit. But I鈥檇 give anything, battle to the death, break hearts, tell lies, pay every penny I owned, sell my soul to have back Logan鈥檚 hear? just like that. Something that meant the world because it meant I had him. And I had it back. Him back.”

“On that, I pushed, shoved, desperate to get to a place where I could completely fade away and do it alone. Having been given too much too soon and paying the price by having it ripped away so that was all I鈥檇 ever have.
Nothing.
All I鈥檇 ever be.
Alone.
With all that, I made my final dash through the flames, making my way through the bar, out, and I ran to my car on my high heels. Destined to fade away. Ready to fade away. Needing nothing but to leave it all far behind.”
― Kristen Ashley, Walk Through Fire

“I鈥檓 done walking through fire for you, High!鈥� I yelled.
鈥淚鈥檓 done not because I鈥檓 done but because there鈥檚 nothing left of me to burn. You have it all! You鈥檝e always had it all! I gave up everything so you could have it all! Please! God! Leave me to my nothing!鈥� I swung an arm out to their table.
鈥淎nd if you gave one single shit about me, ever, make them let me have my nothing!”

“It鈥檚 just the way, and it鈥檚 a good way, and you know what I mean, Dad. I want a handful,鈥� Rush went on. 鈥淚 wanna wake up and not know what the day is gonna bring, mostly because she鈥檚 gonna make it an adventure. I want kids, and I want the woman I choose to make them with to be about them. To have all the love in the world for them. To make it so they know that and never doubt it. And you know why I want that.”

“A woman who can love that deep, who鈥檚 got that kinda steel in her spine, the man who gets it, it鈥檒l feel good to earn that love, keep it and have it.

“You had to know what you wanted to get it. You had to know it was right before you went for it. You had to pull out all the stops to make it yours. And you had to treat it right when you got it.”

“Five a.m. was a blank-faced, indigo wall, trying to press her back into the house, into bed. Five a.m. didn鈥檛 want to be messed with or questioned. It wasn鈥檛 the insidious shifting shadow miasma of midnight. It was an angry schoolmarm that didn鈥檛 expect to be challenged.”
