Two of the best book quotes from King (Concrete Rose)
01
“One of them yell out, ‘Don’t let them punk you, Li’l Don and Li’l Zeke!
It don’t matter that my pops been locked up for nine years or that King’s pops been dead almost as long. They still Big Don, the former crown, and Big Zeke, his right-had man. That make me Li’l Don and King Li’l Zeke. Guess we not old enough to go by our own names yet.”
″‘Anyway, I’m Li’l Don. Everybody expected me to join.’
‘Because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree?’ Mr. Wyatt asks. ‘However, it can roll away from the tree. It simply need a little push.‘”
