Quotes

  • I pretended to admire the tattoo in the shape of the Greek letter omega that covered her cheeks and forehead. It looked as if a dray horse had kicked her in the face.
  • I don’t plan ever to get old. It’s unseemly.
  • Lada saw me as a diamond-in-the-rough, begging for her lapidary attention. While I saw her as an ultimately inscrutable amalgam of love, sex, and money.It worked out about as well as you’d expect.
  • This was unrecorded history, unhappening even as it happened.
  • Thus it was not money but conscience that had propelled me on this journey. Conscience, that crabbed and ecclesiastical nag, which inevitably spoke, whether I heeded it or not, in a voice much like my mother’s.
  • Strange, isn’t it, how people cling most desperately to a thing when it becomes least useful to them?
