MojaveThese passages from the first few pages of L'Amour's Mojave Crossing pretty much sum up life so far:

There's more snares in a woman's long lashes than all the creek bottoms in Tennessee.

Even a good woman with her ways and notions, can create more trouble than a good man can shoot his way out of. And I had a notion that this here was no good woman.

Nobody ever claimed I was much of a businessman, least of all me. But if a body can buy cheap and sell high, he just naturally ain't never liable to starve.

Seems to me there's enough trouble in this world without borrowing more with careless words.

    One of my personal favorite lines is Tom Selleck in Crossfire Trail who after shooting Snake Corville with a rifle, An onlooker said "That was some shootin."Tom Selleck said "That wasn't shootin, that was killin."

    Seems like a good book to read amid all the uproar about teenagers working in Kansas. It’d be more healthy if the country was in an uproar about too many kids not working.
