“It's just that the last thing Adam ever said to me.......I remember it all so clear....'Can you go with me, Jordy? I'm not so scared when you're with me.' And then they wouldn't even let me be with him when he......when he....... He was so scared, Mama. I wasn't there.”

“Le Faust à l'envers. L'homme jeune demande au diable les biens de ce monde. Le diable (qui a un costume sport et déclare volontiers que le cynisme est la grande tentation de l'intelligence) lui dit avec douceur : « Mais les biens de ce monde, tu les as. C'est à Dieu qu'il faut demander ce qui te manque - si tu crois que quelque chose te manque. Tu feras marché avec Dieu et, pour les biens de l'autre monde, tu lui vendras ton corps. » Après un silence, le diable qui allume une cigarette anglaise ajoute : « Et ce sera ta punition éternelle. »”

“My eyes blinked like a camera shutter clicking through the frames of my life, except the images were mismatched and haphazard: a ragged-looking doll with a rose-colored dress; crocheted white baby mittens, slightly unraveled; a row of tulips, vibrant red; Rex's smile; a rusty weather vane whirling in the wind. My eyelids fluttered, fighting to remain open, but when they closed, the welcoming image that waited beckoned me to stay, promising to give me the comfort, the peace I longed for. The camellias. I could see them, seemingly endless rows of big, bushy green trees with waxy leaves and showy flowers the size of saucers. Pinks, reds- bursting into bloom, as if they'd been painted by the Queen of Hearts.”
