Quotes
- “He always had to use holy water—real holy water, from gallon jugs he filled from the silver urn at St. Anne’s—but though it impressed the customers, all he could see that it actually did was get stuff wet.”
- ““When did you…die?”“I don’t know. Sometime besides now.””
- “It always upset me to consider how thoroughly even the keenest-edged minds are at the mercy of hormones and such biological baggage. We are all indeed windowless gonads, as Leibniz nearly said.”
- ““And you’ve never married.”“I don’t know any women well enough to hate ’em that much.””
- ““Solipsism,” said Felise. “I thought that too, for a while, but it was so obvious that my cat didn’t think so, didn’t think I was the only thing in the universe, that I decided it wasn’t true.””
- “Love isn’t in the category of normal things. Not any worthwhile kind of love, anyway.”
