Want to Read $ 8.99"The human heart can hold almost exactly one cup of hot tea. Did you know that? It holds roughly the same amount of milk, of course, and can accommodate sixty minnows if one has a mind to catch and pack them. (Linden Laughlin)"-Josh Ritter, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All
"People who tell you they're disappointed in you are full of the worst kind of shit and you can always ignore them. The stuff they say only means that you're doing what you want to do, not what they want you to do. It's the people who really do care about you who will never tell you when you've hurt them."-Josh Ritter, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All
"I know how memory works. I know what happens to it. Some people pine for the past so bad that if you give them even a glimpse of an ear they'll grab hold of it and hang on, telling you stories about the past as if the present were drowning them. Believe me, I know how it happens. Memory comes in to fill the spaces of whatever isn't there."-Josh Ritter, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All
"God doesn't build shit. Yeah, He creates stuff - the World, the mountain ranges, all that - but any fuck with one eye left in his head will tell you that He doesn't spend much time fixing up all His crap. No, He made it, splinters and snakes and all, but then He just took off, leaving the whole goddamn thing to whatever carrion birds feast on dilapidation."-Josh Ritter, The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All
