Hey guys,
We're doing a big update on the site this summer and we'd like to begin including quotes for each book on their respective pages.
We have these Stickys set up on some of the earlier Book forums. So begin including the best quotes from this book here (once you've all had a chance to read it, of course).
Wanna have the pants scared off you in 90 seconds?
Watch 'Laundry Day', my new horror short:
Pg 70
...all because the moment the world declares a person to be immortal, at that moment the person will strive to prove the world wrong
Pg 71
This beaming woman in white, holding a pink baby, appears the mirror opposite of me: a woman dressed in black holding a bronze trophy wrapped in a soiled dust rag. A beat of ironic parallelism
Pg 75
The "kinder kattle kall," as Cholly Knickerbocker would call it, continues all afternoon. This audition. Prams and strollers form a line which runs halfway to the corner. This buffet of abandoned babies, the products of unplanned pregnancies, the progeny of heartbreak--these pink and chubby souvenirs of rape, promiscuity, incest. Impulse. Bottle-fed leftovers of divorce, spousal abuse and fatal disease. Even as the paintbrush, the pink bristles grow stiff in my hand, the babies arrive as proof of poor choices. The sleeping or giggling flotsam and jetsam, a residue of what seemed at one time to be true love.
