Notable quotes

“French is the language that turns dirt into romance.”
— Time (October 6, 1986)
“I don't think there was anything in my brain right then except the usual background static -- the kind you get on your radio when it's turned up all the way and tuned to no station at all. My brain had checked to the power, so to speak; the little guy wearing the Napoleon hat inside was showing aces and betting them.”
— Ch. 8
“Life was such a wheel that no man could stand upon it for long. And it always, at the end, came round to the same place again.”
— p. 1153
“I don't want Church to be like all those dead pets! I don't want Church to ever be dead! He's my cat! He's not God's cat! Let God have His own cat! Let God have all the damn old cats He wants, and kill them all! Church is mine!”
— Ellie on her fears for Church
“Although it is difficult to believe, the sixties are not fictional; they actually happened.”
— Author's Note
“"We'll find him," Stackhouse said. Because if we don't, he thought, I'm toast. This whole place might be toast.”
— p. 312
