Quotes by Frederick Busch (?)

“What to know about pain is how little we deserve it, how simple it is to give, how hard to lose.”
― Frederick Busch, The Stories of Frederick Busch

“No matter his joking, I thought, this was a man as given to the miseries as I was. You could look into my dead face and find my living eyes. In his case, the life and death were reversed, and the flesh of his face was living ground, while his eyes were little monuments to lifelessness buried therein.”
― Frederick Busch, The Night Inspector
