“Evel Knievel at the top of his takeoff ramp in 1967, with a fucking earthquake in his chest and all 30 feet of intestines clenched against the concrete’s puckered lips. Evel saying goodbye to the mother of his kids. Daddy’s job is dangerous. Daddy’s job is to swim out further and further into the ocean. He comes back to them broken, and never for very long.”

“ We’re talking about story-telling, the most basic human need. Food? That’s an animal need. Shelter? That’s a luxury item that leads to social grouping, which leads directly to fancy scarves. But human awareness is all about story-telling. The selective narrative of your memory. The story of why the Sky Bully throws lightning at you. From the first, stories, even unspoken, separated us from the other, cooler beasts. ”
