"There wasn’t any buffalo fish in Lancaster, it was dry as all hell out there, not a place for a man from Louisiana to live."

"Isolated voices scattered about suburbs like El Monte and Lancaster, fighting the evils of bilingual education and the bad habits of these people."

"lie down on damp green grass—or the dry weeds of Topanga, or the red ants of Lancaster—and say thank you, I love you, I love this."
