the signs as boyd crowder quotes

Aries: I've accused of being a lot of things...inarticulate ain't one of them.

Taurus: Goddamm woman, you only shoot people when they’re eatin’ supper?

Gemini: You'd still be able to shoot people, and be an asshole...your two favorite activities.

Cancer: I guess that depends on your definition of friend. He's a nice enough fella, but I wouldn't ask to borrow his corduroy jacket.

Sagittarius: Truth always sounds like lies to a sinner.

Pisces: You wanna make a living in this business, you gotta know your ABCs. Always Be Cool.

This is the essence of Western civilization.

We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.
