“It seems to me that the further East you go the more unpunctual are the trains. What ought they to be in China? - Jonathan Harker”
“No matter where you go in East Texas, ‘Deep’ East Texas is always about twenty miles further in than wherever you are.”
“The only difference between the East and the West seems to be that you have ancestors and we are going to be ancestors.”
“Don’t simply settle for what your parents had. You can go further than that. You can do more, have more, be more.”
“Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems - but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems more and more incredible.”
“You shouldn't be too hard with little boys. You should treat them as precious, because that's what they are. —James Harker”
