Richard Brautigan Quote

We stepped outside rather hurriedly and down the street to anonymous sanctuary among the buildings of San Francisco.Promise me till your dying day, you'll believe that a Mellon was a Confederate general. It's the truth. That God-damn book lies! There was a Confederate general in my family!I promise, I said and it was a promise that was kept.
