Quotes
- “I would never save her. I looked at the woman mopping up the tea, and it came to me that I could not save her either. Enola or the cat or any of them, lost here in the endless stairways and cul-de-sacs of time. They were already dead a hundred years, past saving. The past is beyond saving. Surely that was the lesson the history department sent me all this way to learn. Well, fine, I’ve learned it. Can I go home now?”
- “A cage is a safe place as long as nobody has the key.”
- “He sorted all the mail into three piles of “for” and “against” and “wildly insane,” then threw all of them into the wastebasket.”
- “Do you suppose Walter Hunt would have invented the safety pin if he had known that punk rockers would stick them through their cheeks?”
- ““Fifty-nine,” Mr. Mowen said. “That’s too many coincidences to just be a coincidence.””
- ““Do you like Denver?”“Sure,” I said. I found the pocket-sized recorder and laid it on the table. “Smog, oil refineries, traffic. What’s not to like?””
