“Maybe it was being orphaned and alone all my life, but I always steeled for the worst outcome I could envision. That way I could shrug and be almost happy with anything that fell short of the worst. It was a peculiar life skill and one I had gotten damn good at.”
James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner“If someone you love asks you to give up something you love, don't do it.”
James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner“This was the desert, everything all at once, whether it was needed or not. What survived had learned to save, live carefully, and keep a low profile, even appear to be dead for long periods. Perseverance and patience.”
James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner“My instinct told me that she didn't want me to understand. What she felt and lived with couldn't be shared or understood by anyone else.”
James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner“Imagination is one of the few things a man can count on if he's got the reality to feed it.”

James Anderson, The Never-Open Desert Diner“Rich people always had someone to call who could arrange something that the average guy couldn't get done, no matter how right or wrong. The only call the poor man could make was to Jesus. If Jesus didn't answer, Smith and Wesson always did.”
