Neil Gaiman Quotes
Look," Said Whiskey Jack. "This Is Not A Good Country For Gods. My People Figured That Out Early On. There Are Creator Spirits Who Found The Earth Or Made It Or Shit It Out, But You Think About It: Who's Going To Worship Coyote? He Made Love To Porcupine Woman And Got His Dick Shot Through With More Needles Than A Pincushion. He'd Argue With Rocks And The Rocks Would Win. "So, Yeah, My People Figured That Maybe There's Something At The Back Of It All, A Creator, A Great Spirit, And So We Say Thank You To It, Because It's Always Good To Say Thank You. But We Never Built Churches. We Didn't Need To. The Land Was The Church. The Land Was The Religion. The Land Was Older And Wiser Than The People Who Walked On It. It Gave Us Salmon And Corn And Buffalo And Passenger Pigeons. It Gave Us Wild Rice And Walleye. It Gave Us Melon And Squash And Turkey. And We Were The Children Of The Land, Just Like The Porcupine And The Skunk And The Blue Jay.
