Quotes by Chad Lutzke  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Denny, I know it is, and I’ve seen much more of it than I’ve probably let on. But that’s no way to live your life, on guard like that. I can’t let the potential of something bad happening strip me of my freedom. No one should have to do that.”
Chad Lutzke, Of Foster Homes and Flies

“This is about hating yourself enough to go to extremes. It's about surviving, when all you want to do is wake up dead.”
Chad Lutzke, Stirring the Sheets

“Dirt is the closest thing to a womb a person can hope for.”
Chad Lutzke, Out Behind the Barn
