|
APPALACHIAN, KENTUCKIAN, HISTORIAN, AND WRITER
He warn't only just a farmer, he was a preacher, too, and had a little one-horse log church... and never charged nothing for his preaching, and it was worth it, too. There was plenty other farmer-preachers like that, and done the same way, down South.
-- Mark Twain
I won't be leaving much.
Something to read, maybe.
A wild onion in the gutted road.
-- Charles Bukowski |
