“When I get down to my last dime I'll just walk over to skid row.""There are some real weirdos down there.""They're everywhere.”
“I made practice runs down to skid row to get ready for my future.”
“I try to make a point of being seen. Sometimes when I'm out, I'll buy a juice even when I'm not thirsty. If the store is crowded I'll even go so far as dropping change all over the floor, nickels and dimes skidding in every direction. All I want is not to die on a day I went unseen.”
“When the last dime is gone, I'll sit on the curb outside with a pencil and a ten cent notebook and start the whole thing over again.”
“When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep on walking.”
“Last night I walked clear down to Times Square & just as I arrived I suddenly realized I was a ghost - it was my ghost walking on the sidewalk.”
