“The things a man sees when he ain't got a gun.--Watson the Caretaker”

“It ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun”

“It ain't no fun once the rabbit has got the gun.”

“Like a fellow running from or toward a gun ain't got time to worry whether the word for what he is doing is courage or cowardice.”

“Sometimes I ain’t sho who’s got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he ain't. Sometimes I think it ain't none of us pure crazy and ain't none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It’s like it ain't so much what a fellow does, but it’s the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it. […] That’s how I reckon a man is crazy. That’s how he can’t see eye to eye with other folks. And I reckon they ain't nothing else to do with him but what the most folks says is right.”

“When a man ain't got no ideas of his own, he'd ought to be kind o' careful who he borrows 'em from.”
