"A silence overtook the odd family in their odd surroundings as loss became the mockery of the moment, and they were caught up in the emotional release that is common in a theater audience after the sudden ending of a tragic movie; the curtain closes and the people are still in their seats, numb and sighing their way back into reality."

Loss

"Evil stinks and it doesn't disappear just because you want it to. You can still smell it with your eyes closed."

Evil

"Does the plain, simple beauty of life get buried under society's so-called required daily activities or is that just true of me? No, I know I'm not alone in that feeling. We all get caught up in the making and spending of money. I know it's not just me."

Contentment

"Books required no interchanges of thoughts and feelings, no trading of expectations, no traffic of words, no menace of real loss. Reading books required far less energy than reading people; the pages seldom disappointed him and they never died."

Reading

"Some people get what they want because they grab the power and swing it, and some people don't."

Power

"It's a funny thing, one day you're living and the next day you're not sometimes, whether you have plans or not. Wishes and wants get trumped by the reaper every time. I don't even know if I would want a warning if it was my time. I think I'd rather be surprised."

Mortality

"Everybody dies. It's no risk to lose your life. You knew it was lost from the beginning."

Mortality
