“Bonnie was so drunk she could hardly walk. ... I had always felt sorry for her, having to live the life she was living, never a minute’s peace. She had often told me she was happier when she had something to drink. So I did not blame her for staying drunk most of the time, if it made her feel better.” PainDepressionDrinkingDrunkAlcoholismDrunkennessDrinking AlcoholAlcoholicCoping MechanismBonnie And Clyde Book:My Life with Bonnie and Clyde Source: My Life with Bonnie and Clyde

“We laughed about a lot of things that we should have taken more seriously. But no matter how serious or dangerous the situation was, we always found something to laugh about later on. It always seemed better to laugh than to cry. We had to laugh to keep from crying.” Laughter Is The Best MedicineLaughing TogetherBonnie And ClydeLaughing QuotesLaughter Is Good For The Heart Book:My Life with Bonnie and Clyde Source: My Life with Bonnie and Clyde
“I talk of those incidents [with Bonnie and Clyde] as if I were not a part of any of it, like a character in a book I once read. It’s the only way I keep from going crazy. Maybe we were all pretty young then, but we knew what we were doing. Clyde never held a gun to my head. I was there because I wanted to be! What’s that they say in the movies? ‘The show must go on!’ Well, life goes on.” Criminals1930sCoping MechanismOutlawsBonnie And ClydeOn The RunLiving With Yourself Book:My Life with Bonnie and Clyde Source: My Life with Bonnie and Clyde
