John Fante Quotes

She Made Me A Stranger Unto Myself, She Was All Of Those Calm Nights And Tall Eucalyptus Trees, The Desert Stars, That Land And Sky, That Fog Outside, And I Had Come There With No Purpose Save To Be A Mere Writer, To Get Money, To Make A Name For Myself And All That Piffle. She Was So Much Finer Than I, So Much More Honest, That I Was Sick Of Myself And I Could Not Look At Her Warm Eyes, I Suppressed The Shiver Brought On By Her Brown Arms Around My Neck And The Long Fingers In My Hair. I Did Not Kiss Her. She Kissed Me, Author Of The Little Dog Laughed.
