Quote by Karl Wiggins

“Let’s be honest, Carefree Scamps have rarely been accused of being the epitome of virtue, and that’s because we intermittently break the rules. Yet despite this we are often charming enough for others around us to make allowances. “He’s just prone to being misled.”

“Για όλους όσους έχουν βιώσει - με όποιον τρόπο - τον εκφοβισμό στη ζωή τους, ακόμα και από τους πιο κοντινούς συγγενείς τους (ενδοοικογενειακός εκφοβισμός) ή το ευρύτερο περιβάλλον τους - σχολικό, επαγγελματικό, κοινωνικό, και όποιου είδους ήταν αυτός, ψυχολογικός, λεκτικός, σωματικός... - κι έχουν χάσει πλέον κάθε ελπίδα... Θάρρος! Πάντα υπάρχει ελπίδα, μια αχτίδα φωτός να σκορπίσει τα σκοτάδια!”

“Of her portrayal in the 1967 movie, Bonnie and Clyde, Blanche said, 'That movie made me out like a screaming horse's ass!' ... 'I was too busy moving bodies [to act hysterical],' Blanche herself said. ... Her image in this memoir, as well as in Fugitives and in Cumie Barrow's manuscript, was fashioned at a time when Blanche could have easily been charged with the Joplin murders. That may account for the great difference in tone Between Blanche, the young convict in Missouri State Penitentiary, and Blanche, the elder ex-fugitive. Indeed, at least one of Blanche Barrows' champions, Wilbur Winkler, the Deni— son man who co-owned (along with Artie Barrow Winkler) the Cinderella Beauty Shoppe, used Fugitives to try to obtain a parole for Blanche from the Missouri Board of Probation and Parole. In letters to the Platte County prosecutor and the judge involved in Blanche's case, Winkler alluded to the book's description of Blanche in Joplin in an effort to win their support for her release: 'Blanch [sic] ran hysterical [tic] thru [sit] the gunfire down the street carrying [her] dog in her arms,' Winkler wrote. He even sent copies of the book to them—and to others.”
