Dennis Lehane Quotes

You, You Buy Into All This Stuff About Good Guys And Bad Guys In The World. A Loan Shark Breaks A Guy's Leg For Not Paying His Debt, A Banker Throws A Guy Out Of His Home For The Same Reason, And You Think There's A Difference, Like The Banker's Just Doing His Job But The Loan Shark's A Criminal. I Like The Loan Shark Better Because He Doesn't Pretend To Be Anything Else, And I Think The Banker Should Be Where I Am Sitting Right Now. I'm Not Going To Live Some Life Where I Pay My Fucking Taxes And Fetch The Boss A Lemonade At The Company Picnic And Buy Life Insurance. Get Older, Get Fatter, So I Can Join A Men's Club In Back Bay, Smoke Cigars With A Bunch Of Assholes In A Back Room Somewhere, Talk About My Squash Game And My Kid's Grades. Die At My Desk, And They'll Already Have Scraped My Name Off The Office Door Before The Dirt's Hit The Coffin.
