Cockroaches Quote by J.L.M. Visada
““We found a hotel. Of course with our current financial situation it was one room in the cheapest, nastiest hotel ever. When we flipped on the light, the cockroaches didn’t scatter. They just turned to face us, and seemed to say, “Fuck you…this is my house! I’ll cut you!” I half expected a few of them to be carrying switchblades.””
