Arkansas quotes

  • Kyle: I've always suspected that I didn't want the desirable things in life as much as I should. Women, cars, houses, movies, bands. These things were how people chiseled out a tidy philosophy of life. I never needed a philosophy of life. It's only people who wanted things, felt guilty about getting things and frustrated about not getting things that needed a philosophy. I was just as pleased to get drunk or drink a bunch and not get drunk.

  • Kyle: What a lot of people don't know about organized crime in the south is that it's not that organized. The term Dixie Mafia has always been too generous, implied too grand a scale.
