“I have come to the final judgment that I am not a man any longer. I am a figment, a concoction, an overblown invention born of low-grade whiskey and high-grade journalistic distortion; of street and saloon gossip and dime-novel bombast.”
― Richard Matheson, The Memoirs of Wild Bill Hickok

“I always knew it was horses that would bring you back.”

“The bells are so that we can hear when spirits are approaching. When you hear the bells at night, you know los fantasmas are about.”
― Jo Kaplan, When the Night Bells Ring

“When pioneers are pitted in the face of an antagonizing unknown, there is nothing worse than violence met against their fellow man. The unsurmountable danger comes not from the barrage of storms, nefarious creatures, or the torments of slippery sickness, but from what you hold dearest. Betrayal strikes at the heart, just as much as the soul. The loss of one’s humanity is an unjustifiable demise, the beginning of greater evils.”
― Trent Lindsey

“Orla, what did you say?â€� Addy walked toward the tent to find the crock of milk for the baby as Archie wagged his tail at them.

“You don’t want to know.� Orla chuckled.

“Women of the west are determined for life to be different and better for us out here,â€� Jill pointed out. “It takes some time for newcomers to catch on to what it means to us to carve out a new life here in this wilderness. Think how long it has taken for Honey River Canyon to grow. When we arrived, barely anything was here.â€�

“Josie, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that’s Jake driving his buggy like a madman up our drive.â€� Jill’s eyes widened as she dropped her fork.

“They were cruel and wicked on that day. I’m most proud of the fact you didn’t despise them, you forgave them, and you never spoke back to them. You simply determined to do your best to overcome a difficult situation.â€�

“That won’t be a problem, will it, Sheriff Collins?â€� Isaiah asked. He grinned, his attempt at a beard made him look like he had mange. “You keep your attack dog over there with your furry friend, and I’ll be happy to pay you with a good time.â€� He reached down with his free hand and wiggled his belt buckle suggestively. Ryan made a face at the suggestion.

“You bring a babysitter with you?â€� Millie ‘the attack dogâ€�, asked.”
― Cal Black, No Land For Heroes

“Even after all these years, Fred’s words could knock the air from her. Millie grit her teeth, refusing to let him see just how deeply that had cut. Ryan wasn’t like that, she wasn’t like Fred at all.

“No masters,� Fred said. “No kings. Remember?�

“You don’t get to say that,â€� Millie snapped.”

“Emma could read a crowd. Upon entering a room, she could size up who was in charge, who were the important people to know, to impress. Who was low in the pecking order and not worth bothering her time with.

But oh, was it exhausting, always being on.”
― Sharon A. Mitchell, The Farmer Risks It All

“Everybody needs someone to believe inâ€� Believing in the greatness of someone else inspires the greatness within us all to come forth. That’s why the world so desperately needs heroes; because by believing in heroes, it brings out the heroes in ourselves. Heroism makes people strive to be heroic as well, and it inspires them to be something greater than themselves. Such is the stuff that heroes are made of: heroes like Captain Hondo Stone... For while there might not have been any shining armor in the old west, there were knights back in those daysâ€� Even if they were black knightsâ€� And one of those knights was Captain Hondo Stoneâ€�”

“They have solutions to our problems, but they are not willing to help because that will cost them the things they are stealing from us.”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Looking at myself in the mirror, my face still ugly from the beating I'd taken from Bohlen, I couldn't figure what she saw in me. But a man's life is much in his own hands, and what I was did not have to be the measure of what I would be.”
― Louis L'Amour, Hanging Woman Creek

“The lowest degree has a higher power than the highest degree. Why is that? I look at this way: the more and deeper that a person is inside a House, the more knowledge and power that they have over that House. But when the person is nearing the Door (the contract is coming into an end), so maybe this person is moving out,...the less power over that House that they will have.”

I look at this way: the more and deeper that a person is inside a House, the more knowledge and power that they have over that House.

“A square between planets that are friends is nothing to worry about. It simply indicates that partners should be willing to sacrifice and compromise to make the relationship work. It's simply two best friends who are having a disagreement about something and a compromise is required.”

“Most living entities and systems on this planet obviously do not live by the Western human clock (though some, like the crows who memorize a city's daily garbage truck route, do of course adapt to the timing of human activities). To watch a brown creeper as it inches up and down, peering into crevices and extracting bugs with its little dentist beak, is thus a way of catching a ride out of the grid and toward a time sense so different that it is barely imaginable to us. In Jennifer Ackerman's book The Bird Way, I learned that the male black manakin, a South American songbird, can do somersaults so fast that a human can see them only in slowed-down video. Some birdsong contains notes that are sung too quickly or are too high-pitched for us to hear. Veeries, a species related to the American robin, can predict hurricanes months in advance and adjust their migration route accordingly, and no one currently knows how. Birds own bodies and their movements are an entanglement of time and space: If a loon is in the higher latitudes, it's summer, and the bird is mostly black with a striking pattern of white stripes. If the same loon is near my studio in Oakland, it's winter, and the bird is almost unrecognizably different, a dull grayish brown.”
