Hoagland

Famous quotes containing the word hoagland:

    We New Yorkers see more death and violence than most soldiers do, grow a thick chitin on our backs, grimace like a rat and learn to do a disappearing act. Long ago we outgrew the need to be blowhards about our masculinity; we leave that to the Alaskans and Texans, who have more time for it.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Many people have believed that they were Chosen, but none more baldly than the Texans.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    If a walker is indeed an individualist there is nowhere he can’t go at dawn and not many places he can’t go at noon. But just as it demeans life to live alongside a great river you can no longer swim in or drink from, to be crowded into safer areas and hours takes much of the gloss off walking—one sport you shouldn’t have to reserve a time and a court for.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
