Craig Johnson -Hell is Empty-
Lines I like from this book
- “We are pawns to these spirits, souls they play with for there own satisfaction like hand games.”
- “Sorry it’s kind of an inside joke—.”
- “do you think you’re a good man, Sheriff?” “I hope so.”
- “Dog is drinking wine?” She exhaled audibly. “Well, I poured him some; so far he’s just looking at it.”
- “Isn’t that kind of like putting the monsters of you imagination against the monsters of human nature?”
- “I’ve got bad news; it looks like you’re going to make it.”
- “Well, at least my breath will be kissing-sweet.” He stared at me. I swear Vic was the only one who got my jokes.
- “I said don’t move.” “Actually, you didn’t.” “Shut up!”
- “What the fuck?” “You said get rid of the gun.” “What, you think I can’t get up there or what?” “Well, you are kind of short.”
-“I think that after that epic display of catlike grace, we can safely say they’re not keeping too close of a watch on us.” “Fuck you, man.”
-“Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.”
-“Hector, I don’t think a mountain lion is going to be bold enough to break down the door to get in here even if she feels like a little Mexican.” “Fuck you.”
-Pissed in the snow bank was a single word.
Raynaud Shade had pretty good handwriting, considering the instrument.
- I just had to find a way to pass the time. I looked down at the book on my chest. I was going to have to get pretty desperate to start in on that. (Next page; the beginnings of the book)
-and remembered one of my late wife’s slogans about smoking: “Cigarettes are killers that travel in packs.”
-You fool—you’re aiming at your own shadow and attempting to shoot your echo.
Love when I blow on my dog and she justs-
Samsara room my beloved 🫶🫶🫶😍😍🥰🥰
Every time I verbalise a statement I have made that realisation many times in my head years ago it just hasn’t become a practice for me until now so I’m sharing it with you, please do not take my statement as if I had just come to the realisation of this, I am not a white man thinking he is some philosophical whiz for thinking he is an original thinker, I know I am not but please still let me share this with you
To put my eyes in a ceramic bowl of ice water while I rinse my sockets with freezing water feeling the forming shards of ice prick my flesh as it does to my throat sounds divine
My friends grandmother like two years ago was complaining to her about how she couldn’t jump anymore and I think about it on the weekly sometimes I have to get up to make sure I still can
Craig Johnson -Death Without Company-
Lines I like from this book.
-“Jules?” “Yep?” “Do you ever shut up?” “Nope”
- I took a sip of my coffee for dramatic effect.
- “We’re putting together a petition to get you to shave.”
- “Don’t call me sir. I ain’t yer daddy, far as we know.”
- ‘a life without friends means death without company.’
-“I was quite a hottie back then.”
-But I had told them all I would only get a cellphone if they let me get a computer; so far, we were at a stalemate.
-“You’ve grown a beard?” “Yes.” “I don’t like it.” “Nobody does.”
-“Surely you know. Lucian Connally killed him.”
-Her long dark hair hides the face that is bowed to a god that no longer hears.
- “Daddy I know what I’m getting you for Christmas.” “What?” “A razor.”
- That’s what I got when I quoted Shakespeare to other sheriffs.
I wish cameras weren’t as accessible and high quality as they are now I would love to be this cringy emo kid who has a bunch of cringe interests but people have phones and social media now so all the fun has been sapped out due to not wanting to be bullied
My mind don’t jiggle jiggle it folds
I’ve got mad cow disease for sure
My Roman Empire asides from the mentally ill thoughts of killing myself is wanting to remove my eyes and pop them into a bowl of ice water I think it would be refreshing and a nice little reprieve from how warm they are
