Larry McMurtry
Death and worse happened on the plains.
Larry McMurtry
I hate rude behavior in a man,' he explained in his quiet, unassuming drawl. 'I won't tolerate it.' He politely tipped his hat, and rode away.

Yesterday's gone on down the river and you can't get it back.
Larry McMurtry
The reason men are so awful is because some woman has spoiled them.
