"“Make my conduct your way of life:
restrain eating and sleeping,
and avoid excessive pleasures.
Indulge yourself only a little.
For the habit of constant pleasure

A walk on a spring morning is better than an eighty-mile ride in a hopped-up car, you know why? Because it’s full of flavors, full of a lot of things growing. You’ve time to seek and find.
“Everyone likes to look for aliens, but I think we are the aliens. We’re the descendants of the troublemakers on other planets.

“So while the kids played in the room next door, I had sex for the first time and discovered that it was like masturbation, but a lot more work.”

“the promise of the glamorous and free life of a diplomat, seeing and experiencing the entire world, was the stuff of dreams. It had helped that she’d totally bought into the propaganda that she was part of an elite group, a crème de la crème representing her country, an important cog in the state machinery that served national interests. Looking back, she should have known that her first trip was but a mild introduction into a soul-less life.”
