All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long- forgotten poem
Hunter S. Thompson
I got tired and embarrassed by the constant poverty of those years. I told Doug [ Brinkley] this is really going to be a horrible downer of a book [The Proud Highway] if all it's going to be is about being broke. I didn't like being reminded of desperation at all times.
