Ferris started using his thumbs to type on the phone's tiny keyboard. It looked like some sort of child's toy to Bosch. Like the ones he had seen kids use on planes. He didn't understand why people were always typing feverishly on their phones. He was sure it some some sort of warning, a sign of the decline of civilization or humanity but he couldn't put his finger on the right explanation for what he felt. The digital world was always billed as a great advancement but he remained skeptical."

Great quote. I like Bosch myself. I recently cleaned out a second hand book shop of the all the Connelly books that featured Bosch. The shop owner was happy, I was happy and my husband just carried the bag they were in and said nothing.

It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity.

“…get out of grade school and you go to high school, and its revving up – the thing is coming. Then you’ve got to college, and then maybe grad school. And when you’re through with graduate school you go out and join the world. Then you get into some racket where you’re selling insurance. And then you have that quota to make, and you’re going to make that. And all the time the thing is coming, its coming; that thing, the great success you’re working for. Then when you wake up one day when your about forty years old, you say ‘my god, I’ve arrived.’I’m there! And you don’t feel very different than what you’ve always feel. And there’s a slight let down because you feel there is a hoax. And there was a hoax - a dreadful hoax. They have made you miss everything; by expectation. Look at the people who live to retire and put those savings away. And then when they’re 65 they don’t have any energy left. They are more or less impotent and they go and rot in an old people’s senior citizens community; and because we’ve simply cheated ourselves the whole way down the line. Because we thought of life by analogy with a journey – with a pilgrimage. Which had a serious purpose at the end and the thing was to get to that end; success or whatever it is or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing and to dance while the music was being played. But you had to do that thing, you didn’t let it happen.”

"When you're twenty-one, life is a roadmap. It's only when you get to be twenty-five or so that you begin to suspect you've been looking at the map upside down, and not until you're forty are you entirely sure. By the time you're sixty, take it from me, you're f***ing lost." Stephen King-Joyland
All can be imitated, except for truth; for imitated truth is no longer truth."

"Every actor has to make terrible films from time to time, but the trick is never to be terrible in them."

This is Michael Caine too. Every damn movie he is in, he is unbelievably professional and brings his everything to it. I've spoke of this before, but he made a movie called The Hand (which I love). He is so embarrassed he made it, but he wanted to build a garage onto his house, so he did it for the money. But, he gives that character and the role every single bit of him. I think he's terrific in it.
