James T. Farrell Quotes
He Told Himself That He Was A Clown Clean Through. Every Time A Fly Ball Had Been Hit To Him With Men On The Bases, He'd Muffed It. Hoping For One Thing, Then Another, And When He Did Get His Chances -- Foul Ball.
Girls, Too. He'd Never Held One. Twice Lucy Had Given Him The Cold Shoulder. That Girl He'd Knelt Next To At Christmas Mass In Saint Patrick's Once -- Cold Shoulder. Never Got Beyond Wishing With Her. Now Catherine.
Football. He'd Wanted To Be A Star High-school Quarterback And He'd Not Had The Guts To Stay In School. Fighting. His Kid Brother Had Even Cleaned Him Up. In The War When He'd Tried To Enlist, A Leather-necked Sergeant Had Laughed At Him.
He Was Just An All-around No Soap Guy.
