Sex and chicken processing. Two of life’s great mysteries.
“I hope I'm not intruding,' Morelli said. 'I know you weren't expecting company.'
This is the opening statement that will get you into any burg house. No housewife worth her salt will ever admit to having her house not up to company twenty-four hours a day. Jack the Ripper would have easy access if he used this line.”

“There was a time when my mother warned me about Joe. Stay away from the Morelli boys, my mother would say. They can't be trusted. They're all sex fiends. And no Morelli man will ever amount to anything. A while back my mother had decided that Joe was the exception to the rule and that somehow, in spite of genetic disadvantage, he'd actually managed to grow up. He was financially and professionally stable. And he could be trusted. Okay, so he was still a sex fiend, but at least he was a monogamous sex fiend.”

“That's not to say Gilbert is just unlucky. Oh, he is, but it goes beyond that. Gilbert manages to be Old Man T's sorriest victim and, at the same time, his most indispensable collaborator. Fate and fate alone may place the banana peel in his path, but it is Gilbert who will ensure that at the moment of rendezvous he is carrying a tray of priceless Baccarat crystal which he has, in order to impress a date, borrowed without the knowledge or permission of its owner and had been hoping to return in secret.”

“We want to assure the public that this threat is contained." Only an elected official would dare to declare a thing safe and finished when he or she didn't even know yet what it was.”

“Once I thought that to be human was the highest aim a man could have, but I see now that it was meant to destroy me. Today I am proud to say that I am inhuman, that I belong not to men and governments, that I have nothing to do with creeds and principles. I have nothing to do with the creaking machinery of humanity—I belong to the earth! I say that lying on my pillow and I can feel the horns sprouting from my temples. I can see about me all those cracked forebears of mine dancing around the bed, consoling me, egging me on, lashing me with their serpent tongues, grinning and leering at me with their skulking skulls. I am inhuman! I say it with a mad, hallucinated grin, and I will keep on saying it though it rain crocodiles.”
