William Lewis Trogdon (William Least Heat-Moon) Quotes
The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.

Oliver Stone
When He died in the Wounded World He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less.

Blessed be He!
