“Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.”

“Heaven opened and the water hammered down, reviving the reluctant old well, greenmossing the pigless pigsty, carpet bombing still, tea-colored puddles the way memory bombs still, tea-colored minds.”
