Good writin' ain't necessarily good readin'.
Ken Kesey
A sound of cornered-animal fear and hate and surrender and defiance . . . like the last sound the treed and shot and falling animal makes as the dogs get him, when he finally doesn't care about anything but himself and his dying.
Ken Kesey
Loved. You can't use it in the past tense. Death does not stop that love at all.
Ken Kesey

Ken Kesey
