Mcmurtry

Famous quotes containing the word mcmurtry:

    True maturity is only reached when a man realizes he has become a father figure to his girlfriends’ boyfriends—and he accepts it.
    —Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    Self-parody is the first portent of age.
    —Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)

    You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous 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 (b. 1936)
