Mcmurtry

Famous quotes containing the word mcmurtry:

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

    The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.
    —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)
