Harvey Pekar Quotes
I felt more alone that week than any. Sometimes I'd feel a body lying next to me like an amputee feels a phantom limb.

Life seemed so sweet and so sad, and so hard to let go of in the end. But hey, man, every day is a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something's bound to turn up.
