Larry McMurtry
Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas without eating a chicken fried steak.
Larry McMurtry
A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough. --Augustus Gus McCrae
Larry McMurtry
Americans don't want cowboys to be gay.
Larry McMurtry
You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analagous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.
Larry McMurtry
If you wait, all that happens is that you get older.
Larry McMurtry
The reason men are so awful is because some woman has spoiled them.
Larry McMurtry
You can scare off a lot of cowboys just by looking mean, I guess.
