“Oh, God, help me! And I walked faster, my thoughts pursuing me, and I began to run, my frozen shoes squealing like mice, but running didn't help, the thoughts to the left and right and behind me. But as I ran, The Arm, that good left arm, took hold of the situation and spoke soothingly: ease up, Kid, it's loneliness, you're all alone in the world; your father, your mother, your faith, they can't help you, nobody helps anybody, you only help yourself, and that's why I'm here, because we are inseperable, and we'll take care of everything.” ― John Fante, 1933 Was a Bad Year

"Dostoevsky changed me. The Idiot, The Demons,
The Karamazov Brothers, The Gambler. He turned
me inside out like a glove. I realized that I could
breathe, I could see invisible horizons. The hatred
for my father melted. I loved my father, a poor
suffering and persecuted wretch. I also loved my
mother, and my whole family. It was time to become
a man...go out into the world. I wanted to think and
feel like Dostoevsky. I wanted to write." ― John Fante

"The ones that are truly worth loving are the ones
that make you a stranger to yourself, Those who
manage to eradicate you from your habitat and your
journey, and transplant you into another ecosystem,
managing to keep you alive in that jungle you do not
know and where you would certainly die were it not
that they are there and teach you the steps and
gestures and the words: and you, against all odds,
are able to repeat them." ― John Fante

"l looked at the faces around me and I knew mine
was like theirs. Faces with the blood drained
away, tight faces, worried, lost. Faces like
flowers torn from their roots and stuffed into a
pretty vase." ― John Fante
