“It was those thoughts that made him weird. If Eddie could stop them, he'd stop being strange. Like in books: Rumpelstiltskin was strange, Gollum was strange. Strange made them ugly. It made them hated. It kept them alone.”

“That is what you have to do before you kill, I thought. You have to create an it, where none was before. You do that first in your head, and then you make it real.”

“The Kindness is our defence against disintegration, and we would do well to give it some thought now and again. It is so important, yet at the same time so fragile. What happens if the Kindness crumbles away, and what will become of us?”

“I’ll take care of it, Luke said. And because he said it instead of her, I knew he meant kill. That is what you have to do before you kill, I thought. You have to create an it, where none was before. You do that first, in your head, and then you make it real. So that’s how they do it, I thought. I seemed never to have known that before.”
