Larry McMurtry Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. June 3, 1936
Birthday: June 3
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.
